Abstract:
1. A method for network-side recognition of specific capabilities of subscriber stations in a radio communications system containing network devices and at least one subscriber station, comprising: containing one or more parameters that are used for determining the specific capabilities of the subscriber stations in at least one parameter class; specifying each parameter class to represent various combinations of parameter values relating to the one or more parameters contained in each parameter class; assigning a class value to each parameter class to indicate a respective parameter class; signaling, by the subscriber station, both a class value that indicates a parameter class, the class value being a representation of both of one or more parameters contained within the parameter class and the values of the one or more parameters contained within the parameter class, and at least one other parameter value of any parameter, to at least one network device of the radio communications system; and specific capabilities of a subscriber station being determinable by a network device by;
