Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an extended feature indication in new radio (NR), such as for slice specific extension (SSE). Aspects provide a method that may be performed by a transmitter device, such as a user equipment (UE) or a network node (e.g., a base station (BS)). The method generally includes determining a network node supports an extended feature, the extended feature being associated with an extended feature identifier. The transmitter device transmits a message, the message including the extended feature identifier and an indication that the apparatus is using the extended feature. A receiver device can receive the message and process the message and/or one or more subsequent messages based on the indication that the transmitter device is using the extended feature and the extended feature identifier.
