Claim 15:
16. A base station for controlling the receipt of capability information from a wireless device, the base station comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
transmit, as part of a request for capability information, an indication that a protocol utilizing segmentation is supported by the network for transmission of capability information, thereby making it possible to receive more capability information than one Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) data unit can contain; and
responsive to the wireless device supporting at least one of the one or more protocols and the size of the capability information exceeding a PDCP protocol limit for signaling, receive capability information associated with the wireless device in segments, according to the protocol utilizing segmentation, each segment having a maximum size corresponding to the size of one PDCP data unit; and

power supply circuitry configured to supply power to the base station.
