Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes transmitting circuitry configured to send a low-capability indication that indicates reduced capabilities of the UE to a 5G New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, multiple low-capability indications may be sent to indicate capabilities of the UE to the 5G NR network. In other examples, a single low-capability indication may be sent in an attach request. The 5G NR network may request the reduced capabilities of the UE in a capability request update. In yet other examples, a single low-capability indication may be sent in a radio resource control (RRC) establishment cause.
