A user equipment (UE) is configured with a carrier aggregation (CA) functionality and UE connected to a network via a base station that serves as a primary serving cell (PCell) providing a primary component carrier (PCC) to the UE. The UE determines a plurality of bands that are supported by the UE for use in the CA functionality, generates an individual band information element (IE) including band information for the bands, determines at least one representative CA combination having an order, the order indicating a total number of component carriers (CCs), the at least one representative CA combination forming a basis to extrapolate a plurality of CA combinations having the order based on the band information, generates a representative CA combination IE including the at least one representative CA combination and transmits the individual band IE and the representative CA combination IE to the base station.
