Section: 9.9.3.34 UE network capability
Content: The purpose of the UE network capability information element is to provide the network with information concerning aspects of the UE related to EPS or interworking with GPRS and 5GS. The contents might affect the manner in which the network handles the operation of the UE. The UE network capability information indicates general UE characteristics and it shall therefore, except for fields explicitly indicated, be independent of the frequency band of the channel it is sent on. The UE network capability information element is coded as shown in figure 9.9.3.34.1 and table 9.9.3.34.1. The UE network capability is a type 4 information element with a minimum length of 4 octets and a maximum length of 15 octets. NOTE: The requirements for the support of UMTS security algorithms in the UE are specified in 3GPP TS 33.102[ 3G security; Security architecture ]  [18], and the requirements for the support of EPS security algorithms in 3GPP TS 33.401[ 3GPP System Architecture Evolution (SAE); Security architecture ]  [19].
