Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for reducing overhead associated with user equipment (UE) capability information messages in order to improve overall network performance. A UE capability repository system includes a repository storing information correlating identifying characteristics of the UE with capabilities of the UE. In response to a connection request from a particular UE, the connection request including the identifying characteristics for the particular UE, the UE capability repository is searched for capabilities correlated with the identifying characteristics for the particular UE. Upon finding the capabilities correlated with the identifying characteristics, the UE capability repository system provides an access node with the capabilities, thereby avoiding sending of a UE capability enquiry message by the access node and the generation of a UE capability information message from the UE.
