DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MODIFYING PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES BASED ON DEVICE CAPABILITIES
First Claim
1. An access terminal, comprising:
- a communications interface;
a storage medium; and
a processing circuit coupled to the communications interface and the storage medium, the processing circuit adapted to;
send, via the communications interface, a capability indication message adapted to identify at least one capability associated with the access terminal; and
employ at least one altered performance attribute associated with the at least one capability identified in the capability indication message.

Abstract
Access terminals are adapted to identify one or more capabilities (e.g., characteristics, features). Such an access terminal can send a capability indication message to a network node. The capability indication message is adapted to identify at least one capability associated with the access terminal. The network node can receive the capability indication message and can identify one or more performance attributes associated with each identified capability of the access terminal, which performance attributes can be beneficially altered or optimized in light of the identified capabilities. The network node and the access terminal can then employ one or more adjusted performance attributes associated with each identified capability. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
