Abstract
A mobile communication network receives capability information from a user equipment (UE) where the capability information indicates a version of the UE which the network uses to determine a 3GPP Release version of the UE. Based on the 3GPP release version, the network determines what type of system information (e.g., System Information Blocks (SIBs)) the UE requires, and transmits the required system information to the UE. Legacy UEs receive only legacy SIBs and non-legacy UEs receive one or more non-legacy SIBs in addition to the legacy SIBs.
