ABSTRACT:
A method in a cellular telecommunications network of informing the network of a plurality of operating capabilities of a mobile terminal. The method begins with the steps of entering an access (intermediate) state at the mobile terminal and then transmitting a message from the network to the mobile terminal requesting the mobile terminal to transmit information regarding the operating capabilities of the mobile terminal. The capability request may be sent on a paging channel (PCH) or an access response channel (ARCH). This is followed by transmitting a capability report from the mobile terminal to the network, the capability report including the requested information. The capability report may include all of the capabilities of the mobile terminal, or may include a specified capability set. The method may optionally include the step of determining whether the network has been informed of the operating capabilities of the mobile terminal before transmitting the message from the network to the mobile terminal requesting the mobile terminal to transmit its capabilities information. Additional capabilities, or updated capabilities may be retrieved from the mobile terminal by later transmitting a capability update request to the mobile terminal.
