UE radio access capability parameters
In the following the UE radio capability parameters are defined. When using the RRC configuration parameters,
UTRAN needs to respect the UE capabilities. Only parameters for which there is a need to set different values for
3GPP
Release 8
3GPP TS 25.306 V8.4.0 (2008-09)
different UEs are considered as UE capability parameters. Therefore, the capabilities that are the same for all UEs,
including baseline capabilities, are not listed here.
UTRAN needs to respect the UE capabilities when configuring the RBs. Actions in the UE when capabilities are in
conflict with a UTRAN request are specified in RRC.
4.1
PDCP parameters
Support for RFC 2507

This parameter defines whether the UE supports header compression according to RFC 2507 as defined in [1] or not.
This parameter defines whether the UE supports header compression according to RFC 3095 as defined in [1] or not. If
the UE supports IMS, as described in [23.228], the UE shall support header compression according to RFC 3095 as
defined in [1].
Support for RFC 3095 context relocation
This parameter defines whether the UE supports RFC 3095 context relocation as defined in [1] or not.
Support for loss-less SRNS relocation
Defines whether the UE supports loss-less SRNS relocation as defined in [1] or not.
Support for lossless DL RLC PDU size change
Defines whether the UE supports lossless DL RLC PDU size change as defined in [1] or not.
Maximum header compression context space
This parameter is only applicable if the UE supports header compression according to RFC 2507. It is defined as the
maximum header compression context size supported by the UE for all RFC 2507 protocol entities for all RBs. UTRAN
controls that the UE capability can be fulfilled through the following parameters:
1. MAX_HEADER;
2. TCP_SPACE;
3. NON_TCP_SPACE;
The context space for a single RFC 2507 protocol entity calculates from:
(2 * (TCP_SPACE + 1 + NON_ TCP_SPACE + 1) * MAX_HEADER).
The following criterion must be fulfilled in the configuration:
Maximum header compression context space sum of context spaces for all RFC 2507 protocol entities for all RBs.
Maximum number of ROHC context sessions
This parameter is only applicable if the UE supports header compression according to RFC3095. It is defined as the
maximum number of header compression context sessions supported by the UE.
Support for Reverse Decompression
This parameter determines whether reverse decompression is supported or not and the maximum number of packets that
can be reverse decompressed by the decompressor in the UE.
3GPP
Release 8
3GPP TS 25.306 V8.4.0 (2008-09)
Support for CS voice over HSPA

Defines whether the UE is able to route CS voice (AMR and AMR WB) data over HS-DSCH and E-DCH transport
channels. If the UE supports CS voice over HS-DSCH and E-DCH, then the UE shall also support HS-PDSCH and EDPDCH in CELL_DCH and DPCCH Discontinuous Transmission and MAC-ehs.
4.2
Void
4.3
RLC and MAC-hs parameters
Total RLC AM and MAC-hs buffer size

When HS-DSCH is not configured this is defined as the maximum total buffer size across all RLC AM entities
supported by the UE. When HS-DSCH is configured this is defined as the maximum total buffer size across all MAC-hs
reordering entities and all RLC AM entities supported by the UE. The memory signalled in this capability is
dynamically shared by RLC AM entities and MAC-hs reordering entities at any time.
In order to evaluate memory consumption in the UE, it shall be assumed that:
-
a stored AMD PDU of N octets requires a memory equal to N octets;
a stored MAC-hs PDU of N bits requires a memory equal to (N 10) bits.
The UE shall only consider itself in a memory shortage situation as defined in [9] [10] when the amount of stored AM
RLC PDUs and MAC-hs PDUs exceeds its capability.
Maximum number of AM entities
This is defined as the maximum number of RLC AM entities supported by the UE.
Maximum RLC AM Window Size
This is defined as the maximum transmission and receiving window size of RLC AM entities supported by the UE.
Support of MAC-ehs
Defines whether the UE supports reception of MAC-ehs operation. If the UE supports MAC-ehs operation then the UE
shall also support HS-PDSCH in CELL_DCH and flexible RLC AM PDU size in downlink.
Support of Two Logical Channels

PHY parameters
4.5.1
Transport channel parameters in downlink
3GPP TS 25.306 V8.4.0 (2008-09)
Maximum sum of number of bits of all transport blocks being received at an arbitrary time instant
NOTE 1: "Being received" refers to all bits in the active TFC within the TFCS over all simultaneous transport
channels received by the UE. "Arbitrary time instant" means that the time instant corresponding to the
highest sum of number of bits is relevant. This note also applies to similar parameter definitions below.
This parameter is defined as:
i(Ni)
where Ni is defined as the number of bits in transport block #i, and the sum is over all transport blocks being received at
an arbitrary time instant. All transport blocks that are to be simultaneously received by the UE on DCH, FACH, PCH
and DSCH transport channels are included in the parameter.
NOTE 2: A UE does not need to support a TFC within the TFCS for which the sum of Number of Transport Blocks
* Transport Block size over all simultaneous transport channels is larger than what the UE capability
indicates.
This UE capability also limits the maximum number of bits before de-rate-matching as follows: The maximum number
of bits before de-rate matching being received at an arbitrary time instant (DPCH, PDSCH, S-CCPCH) shall be less or
equal to 6.6 times the Maximum sum of number of bits of all transport blocks being received at an arbitrary time
instant.
Maximum sum of number of bits of all convolutionally coded transport blocks being received at an arbitrary
time instant.
This parameter is defined similar to the parameter above, but the sum includes only transport blocks that are to be
convolutionally coded.
Maximum sum of number of bits of all turbo coded transport blocks being received at an arbitrary time
instant.
This parameter is defined similar to the parameter above, but the sum includes only transport blocks that are to be turbo
coded.
Maximum number of simultaneous transport channels
This is defined as the maximum number of downlink Transport Channels that the UE is capable to process
simultaneously, not taking into account the rate of each Transport Channel.
NOTE:
The number of simultaneous transport channels affects how the total memory space and processing
capacity can be shared among the transport channels. A UE does not need to support more simultaneous
transport channels than the UE capability allows for.
Maximum number of simultaneous CCTrCH

This is defined as the maximum number of downlink CCTrCH that the UE is capable to process simultaneously.
CCTrCH should be interpreted as consisting of DCH, FACH or DSCH.
Maximum total number of transport blocks received within TTIs that end within the same 10 ms interval
All transport blocks that are to be simultaneously received by the UE on DCH, FACH, PCH and DSCH transport
channels are included in the parameter.
3GPP
Release 8
NOTE:
3GPP TS 25.306 V8.4.0 (2008-09)
Relates to processing requirements for CRC in downlink. A UE does not need to support a TFC within
the TFCS for which the sum of Number of Transport Blocks is larger than what the UE capability
indicates. In the case of several CCTrCHs, the combination of the TFCs within the respective TFCSs for
simultaneous TTIs at an arbitrary time instant shall not exceed this parameter.
Maximum number of TFC

Defines the maximum number of transport format combinations the UE can store, where all transport format
combinations for all downlink transport format combination sets are counted. Different channelisation code mapping
shall be counted as separate TFC in case of DSCH.
Maximum number of TF
The maximum total number of downlink transport formats the UE can store, where all transport formats for all
downlink transport channels are counted.
Support for turbo decoding
Defines whether turbo decoding is supported or not.
Maximum number of bits of an HS-DSCH transport block received within an HS-DSCH TTI
Defines the maximum number of bits of an HS-DSCH transport block received within an HS-DSCH TTI the UE is
capable of receiving within a HS-DSCH TTI.
4.5.2
Transport channel parameters in uplink
Maximum sum of number of bits of all transport blocks being transmitted at an arbitrary time instant
NOTE 1: "Being transmitted" refers to all bits in the active TFC within the TFCS over all simultaneous transport
channels transmitted by the UE. "Arbitrary time instant" means that the time instant corresponding to the
highest sum of number of bits is relevant. This note also applies to similar parameter definitions below.
This parameter is defined as:
i(Ni)
where Ni is defined as the number of bits in transport block #i, and the sum is over all transport blocks being transmitted
at an arbitrary time instant.
NOTE 2: This parameter is related to memory requirements for uplink data received from MAC before it can be
transmitted over the radio interface. As shown in Figure 4.1 the worst case occurs for the maximum TTI.
A UE does not need to support a TFC within the TFCS for which the sum of Number of Transport Blocks
indicates.
Maximum sum of number of bits of all convolutionally coded transport blocks being transmitted at an arbitrary
time instant
This parameter is defined similar to the parameter above, but the sum includes only transport blocks that are to be
convolutionally coded.
Maximum sum of number of bits of all turbo coded transport blocks being transmitted at an arbitrary time
instant
This parameter is defined similar to the parameter above, but the sum includes only transport blocks that are to be turbo
coded.

indicates.
Maximum number of simultaneous CCTrCH

This parameter is applicable for TDD only. For FDD there is always only one CCTrCH at a time. The parameter is

The number of DPCH channel bits indicates the capability of the UE when operating in non-compressed mode.
The parameter also indicates the capability of the UE to support compressed mode by spreading factor reduction as
follows. The UE shall:
-
for parameter values up to and including 9600 bits:

-
support compressed mode by spreading factor reduction when operating at any value up to the reported
capability.
for parameter values greater than 9600 bits:

-
support compressed mode by spreading factor reduction when operating at any value up to the greater of:

CELL_DCH state then the UE shall support also F-DPCH.
Support of HS-SCCHless HS-DSCH
Defines whether the UE supports HS-PDSCH reception in CELL_DCH without prior reception of HS-SCCH. If the UE
supports HS-SCCHless HS-DSCH then the UE shall support HS-PDSCH in CELL_DCH and E-DPDCH.
Support of HS-PDSCH in CELL_FACH
Defines whether the UE supports HS-PDSCH in CELL_FACH state or not. If the UE supports HS-PDSCH in
CELL_FACH then the UE shall support also HS-PDSCH in CELL_DCH and MAC-ehs.
Support of HS-PDSCH in CELL_PCH and URA_PCH

3GPP TS 25.306 V8.4.0 (2008-09)
Maximum number of HS-DSCH codes received

Defines the maximum number of HS-DSCH codes the UE is capable of receiving.
Total number of soft channel bits in HS-DSCH
Defines the maximum number of soft channel bits over all HARQ processes. When explicit signalling is used, UTRAN
configures Process Memory Size for each HARQ process so that the following criterion must be fulfilled in the
configuration:

Minimum inter-TTI interval in HS-DSCH
Defines the distance from the beginning of a TTI to the beginning of the next TTI that can be assigned to the UE.
4.5.4
FDD physical channel parameters in uplink
Maximum number of DPDCH bits per 10 ms

Defines the maximum number of the DPDCH bits the UE is capable to transmit per 10 ms.
If the reported capability is lower than 9600, the number of DPDCH channel bits indicates the capability of the UE
when operating in non-compressed mode; if the reported capability is equal to or greater than 9600 it indicates the
maximum capability of the UE considering both compressed and non compressed mode operation.
NOTE 1: This capability combines the 'Max number of DPDCH' and 'Minimum SF' capabilities into one capability.
Note that no flexibility is lost due to this, as multiple DPDCH is only used for SF = 4, i.e. when the
number of DPDCH bits exceed a certain value.
NOTE 2: Compressed mode by spreading factor reduction is not applicable when operating at spreading factor 4.
Support of E-DPDCH
Defines whether the UE supports E-DPDCH or not.
Maximum number of E-DCH codes transmitted

UE minimum capabilities for reception of MBMS not

provided in MBSFN mode
For FDD, the minimum UE capability for MBMS reception for MBMS services that are not provided in MBSFN mode
consists of two separate and independent parts ("MBMS capability part A" and "MBMS capability part B").
MBMS capability part A parameters defined in Table 4.13-1 are the same as the 64kbps UE reference class for DL
described in subclause 5.2 and provides capability to enable reception of logical channels other than MTCHs and
MSCH when MBMS PTM is received simultaneously.

Capability for reception of DPCH is applicable only if UE supports MBMS PTM reception in
CELL_DCH state for reception of MBMS services that are not provided in MBSFN mode.
MBMS capability part B for reception of MBMS services that are not provided in MBSFN mode is defined in the
following Table 4.13-2. MBMS capability part B enables reception of the S-CCPCHs onto which at least MTCH is
multiplexed. MBMS capability part B supports selection combining and soft combining of S-CCPCHs on different
cells. The UE is not required to support simultaneous selection combining and soft combining.
The exhaustive lists of supported configurations (slot formats, TTI and combining parameters) for capability part B is
given in Table 4.13-3. Only FACH can be mapped on the S-CCPCHs listed in table 4.13-3. In addition to MTCH, the
MSCH, BCCH, CCCH, DCCH and DTCH can be multiplexed onto the S-CCPCHs listed in table 4.13-3. The FACH
TTI restrictions in table 4.13-3 only apply to FACHs carrying MTCH or MSCH.

'None' indicates that either selection combining or soft combining is not required for the respective
combination.
Since MBMS capability part A and B are independent, the maximum total number of S-CCPCHs, including the SCCPCH that the UE is required to monitor by subclause 8.5.19 of [12], that the UE is required to receive is 4.
MBMS Capability part B may be used to receive MCCH in the following cases:
When the UE is in CELL_FACH state, and the MCCH is on a different S-CCPCH than the S-CCPCH that the
UE is required to monitor by subclause 8.5.19 of [12].
When the UE is in CELL_DCH, if the UE supports MBMS PTM reception in CELL_DCH.
Furthermore, in case MBMS PTM reception is ongoing, the UE may soft or selectively combine one less cell than
shown in table 4.13-3 while receiving the S-CCPCH carrying the MCCH.
Further restrictions on the supported configurations of the S-CCPCH carrying the MCCH apply. The exhaustive lists of
supported slot formats, TTI size, and maximum number of configured transport channels that can be received, depend
on the capability of the UE to support MBMS PTM reception in CELL_DCH. Table 4.13-3a applies when UE does
support MBMS PTM reception in CELL_DCH, while Table 4.13-3b applies when UE does not support MBMS PTM
reception in CELL_DCH. In addition to MCCH, the BCCH, PCCH, CCCH, DCCH and DTCH can be multiplexed onto
the S-CCPCHs listed in tables 4.13-3a and 4.13-3b. The FACH TTI restrictions in tables 4.13-3a and 4.13-3b only
apply to FACH carrying MCCH.

UE Categories 1 to 4 and Category 11 do not support HS-DSCH reception in CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH
states.
UEs of Category 13 are only required to support code rates up to 0.823 when 64QAM is used, which is represented by a
limitation in the maximum value of Ki. in the transport block calculation in [9]. For other modulation formats, this
restriction does not apply.
UEs of Category 15 are only required to support code rates up to 0.823 for 16QAM when two transport blocks are
received in the same TTI, which is represented by a limitation in the maximum value of Ki. in the transport block
calculation in [9]. For other modulation formats or when a single transport block is received, this restriction does not
apply.
A UE that supports categories greater or equal to category 13, also supports E-DPDCH.
A UE that supports categories greater or equal to category 13, also supports MAC-ehs.
UEs of categories 13, 15, 17 or 19 also support category 9 when MAC-ehs is configured.
UEs of categories 14, 16, 18 or 20 also support category 10 when MAC-ehs is configured.
NOTE 1: Depending on the HS-DSCH configuration, the indicated maximum number of bits of an HS-DSCH
transport block does not have to correspond exactly to an entry in the transport block size table to be
applied [9].
NOTE 2: A UE of category 17 supports the physical capabilities of categories 13 and 15, but not simultaneously.
The first row of category 17 in table 5.1a specifies the capabilities when MIMO is not configured and the
capabilities of category 13 apply, the second row specifies the capabilities when MIMO is configured and
the capabilities of category 15 apply.
NOTE 3: A UE of category 18 supports the physical capabilities of categories 14 and 16, but not simultaneously.
The first row of category 18 in table 5.1a specifies the capabilities when MIMO is not configured and the
capabilities of category 14 apply, the second row specifies the capabilities when MIMO is configured and
the capabilities of category 16 apply.

Reference UE radio access capability combinations
Based on required UE radio access capabilities to support reference RABs as defined in [2], this clause lists reference
UE Radio Access capability combinations. Subclause 5.2.1 defines reference combinations of UE radio access
capability parameters common for UL and DL. Subclauses 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 define reference combinations of UE radio
3GPP
Release 8
42
3GPP TS 25.306 V8.4.0 (2008-09)
access capability parameters that are separate for DL and UL respectively. A reference combination for common UL
and DL parameters, one combination for UL parameters and one combination for DL parameters together relate to a UE
with a certain implementation complexity, that allows support for one or several combined reference RABs.
Combinations for UL and DL can be chosen independently. The bit rate supported by the selected combination of
common UL and DL parameters needs to be at least as high as the maximum out of the supported bit rates of the
selected combination of DL parameters and the selected combination of UL parameters. Different combinations have
different levels of implementation complexity.
For defined reference RABs, it is possible to require a UE to meet a certain reference UE radio access capability
combination. Each UE needs to have capabilities complying with a given reference radio access capability combination.
Each individual radio access capability parameter as defined in subclause 5.1 shall be signalled.
The reference combination numbers shall not be used in the signalling of UE radio access capabilities between the UE
and UTRAN. Reference UE radio access capability combinations provide default configurations that should be used as
a basis for conformance testing against reference RABs.
The UE shall support at least the UE radio access capability parameter values as specified for the 12kbps UE reference
class for both UL and DL.
Allowed values of UE capability parameters are limited by the defined range and granularity of values in subclause 5.1.
Values might change depending on further definition of reference RABs for testing.
5.2.1
NOTE:
Combinations of common UE Radio Access Parameters

for UL and DL
Measurement-related capabilities are not included in the combinations. These capabilities are independent
