Abstract

Tracking areas that comprise service cells capable of providing advanced long-term evolution (LTE-A) features, can be utilized to indicate to a mobile device that the mobile device can access the advanced features. For example, an LTE-A capable mobile device can display an LTE-A icon if the mobile device is in a geographic area that qualifies as an LTE-A tracking area. However, if the mobile device is not capable of receiving LTE-A services, then the mobile device can display an LTE icon instead of an LTE-A icon.
