Section: 10.5.5.12 MS network capability
Content: The purpose of the MS network capability information element is to provide the network with information concerning aspects of the mobile station related to GPRS. The contents might affect the manner in which the network handles the operation of the mobile station. The MS network capability information indicates general mobile station characteristics and it shall therefore, except for fields explicitly indicated, be independent of the frequency band of the channel it is sent on. The MS network capability is a type 4 information element with a maximum of 10 octets length. The value part of a MS network capabilityinformation element is coded as shown in figure 10.5.128/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ]  and table 10.5.145/3GPP TS 24.008[ Mobile radio interface Layer 3 specification; Core network protocols; Stage 3 ] . NOTE: The requirements for the support of the GEA algorithms in the MS are specified in 3GPP TS 43.020[ Security related network functions ]  [13].
