摘要

A base station sends a request for information relating to radio access technology capabilities of a mobile station. The base station receives a message containing information relating to radio access technology capabilities of the mobile station, where the message is responsive to the request, and the information contained in the message specifies that the mobile station supports at least two different types of radio access technologies useable by the mobile station to communicate over a wireless link between the base station and the mobile station. The base station is able to control which of the at least two different types of radio access technologies the mobile station is to use.
