Abstract
Data can be sent simultaneously on the data links between long-term evolution (LTE) and new radio (NR) for dual connectively. However a mobile device can indicate its capabilities to the network. The mobile device capabilities can comprise the number of total multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) layers that the mobile device can support. Because different sectors or markets can have different spectrums that can make use of an increased or decreased number of layers, then assessing the MIMO layer capabilities of the mobile device can allow the network to dynamically adjust the LTE side and the NR side capabilities to optimize network utilization.
