A UE (10) indicates its radio access capabilities (20) to the base station (30). An element is added to the radio access capabilities (20) reported by the UE (10), to indicate in a release-independent manner if a certain network signaling parameter (e.g., NS-value) has been modified or if a new parameter has been introduced for an operating band. In this manner, the base station (30) can distinguish UE (10) with a modified NS-value behavior from legacy UE (10) for the purpose of admission control, imposing scheduling or handover restrictions, or the like. |
