Claim 13:
14. A wireless device for transmitting capability information to a base station in a network, the wireless device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
receive, from the base station 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;
responsive to the wireless device supporting a protocol utilizing segmentation for transmission of capability information, select the protocol utilizing segmentation for transmission of capability information, thereby making it possible to transmit more capability information than one Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) data unit can contain; and
transmit capability information associated with the wireless device to the base station 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 wireless device.
