Abstract
A User Equipment (UE) () supports a plurality of RF bands () associated with a plurality of country codes. The UE () reduces the entirety of the set of UE-supported RF bands () based on a current, physical location () of the UE (), and the UE () advertises only the reduced set of UE-supported RF bands to a network or wireless communication system (), e.g., for attachment purposes. For example, the UE () may reduce the entirety of the set of RF bands that it supports () based on a country code provided by a base station () of a network () and the physical location () of the UE (), thereby generating a reduced set of UE-supported RF bands. Subsequently, the UE () may advertise only the reduced set of RF bands supported by the UE (), and refrain from advertising one or more RF bands excluded from the reduced set, e.g., by omitting any indication of the excluded RF bands from advertisements.
