Advertisement of NR capability to user equipment

Abstract:

Fifth generation (5G) or New Radio (NR) networks may support multiple numerologies, different waveforms, and as well as transmission bandwidths and durations for that are specific for a particular user equipment (UE) to use for uplink transmissions to a next generation evolved Node B (gNB). Described herein are mechanisms by which a gNB may indicate the availability of an NR or 5G network to the UE and mechanisms by which a UE may indicate NR capability to the gNB.
