Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for user equipment category signaling. In some example embodiments, there may be provided a method that includes receiving, by a user equipment in dual connectivity with a master base station providing an Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network and with a secondary base station providing a next generation radio access network, a request for capability information; generating, by the user equipment, category information, the category information indicating, to the master base station and the secondary base station, an achievable data rate for the user equipment over the dual connectivity, the category information being common to both the Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network and the next generation radio access network; and providing, by the user equipment, capability information to the master base station, the capability information including the generated category information. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
