NOTE 1: Only one of the UL or SUL carriers (the one with the higher data rate) is counted for a cell operating
SUL.
NOTE 2: For UL Tx switching between carriers, only the supported MIMO layer combination across carriers that
results in the highest combined data rate is counted for the carriers in the supported maximum UL data

The approximate maximum data rate can be computed as the maximum of the approximate data rates computed using
the above formula for each of the supported band or band combinations.
For single carrier NR SA operation, the UE shall support a data rate for the carrier that is no smaller than the data rate

the UE supported maximum MIMO layers for the j-th CC, and based on the maximum modulation order for the
j-th CC and number of PRBs based on the bandwidth of the j-th CC according to indicated UE capabilities.
The approximate maximum data rate can be computed as the maximum of the approximate data rates computed using
the above formula for each of the supported band or band combinations.
For MR-DC, the approximate maximum data rate is computed as the sum of the approximate maximum data rates from
NR and EUTRA.

4.1.4 Total layer 2 buffer size for DL/UL
The total layer 2 buffer size is defined as the sum of the number of bytes that the UE is capable of storing in the RLC
transmission windows and RLC reception and reassembly windows and also in PDCP reordering windows for all radio
bearers.
ETSI
3GPP TS 38.306 version 16.23.0 Release 16 10 ETSI TS 138 306 V16.23.0 (2026-04)
The required total layer 2 buffer size in MR-DC is the maximum value of the calculated values based on the following
equations:
- MaxULDataRate_MN * RLCRTT_MN + MaxULDataRate_SN * RLCRTT_SN + MaxDLDataRate_SN *
RLCRTT_SN + MaxDLDataRate_MN * (RLCRTT_SN + X2/Xn delay + Queuing in SN)

RLCRTT_MN + MaxDLDataRate_SN * (RLCRTT_MN + X2/Xn delay + Queuing in MN)
Otherwise it is calculated by MaxDLDataRate * RLC RTT + MaxULDataRate * RLC RTT.
NOTE: Additional L2 buffer required for preprocessing of data is not taken into account in above formula.
The required total layer 2 buffer size is determined as the maximum total layer 2 buffer size of all the calculated ones
for each band combination and the applicable Feature Set combination in the supported MR-DC or NR band
combinations. The RLC RTT for NR cell group corresponds to the smallest SCS numerology supported in the band
combination and the applicable Feature Set combination.
wherein
X2/Xn delay + Queuing in SN = 25ms if SCG is NR, and 55ms if SCG is EUTRA
X2/Xn delay + Queuing in MN = 25ms if MCG is NR, and 55ms if MCG is EUTRA
RLC RTT for EUTRA cell group = 75ms

MaxSLtxDataRate * RLC RTT + MaxSLrxDataRate * RLC RTT.
NOTE: Additional L2 buffer required for preprocessing of data is not taken into account in above formula.
The required total layer 2 buffer size for NR sidelink communication is determined as the maximum total layer 2 buffer
size of all the calculated ones for each band combination and the applicable Feature Set combination in the supported
NR sidelink band combinations. The RLC RTT for NR sidelink communication corresponds to the smallest SCS
numerology supported in the band combination and the applicable Feature Set combination.

RLC RTT for NR sidelink communication is defined in Table 4.1.6-1

4.2 UE Capability Parameters
4.2.1 Introduction
The following clauses define the UE radio access capability parameters. Only parameters for which there is the
possibility for UEs to signal different values are considered as UE radio access capability parameters. Therefore,
mandatory features without capability parameters that are the same for all UEs are not listed here.
The network needs to respect the signalled UE radio access capability parameters when configuring the UE and when
scheduling the UE.
For capabilities that required to be set consistently for all FDD-FR1 bands (i.e. capabilities that are supposed to be per
UE), the UE shall also set capability values for all SUL bands with same values for FDD-FR1 bands if SUL band is
supported by the UE.
The UE may support different functionalities between FDD and TDD, and/or between FR1 and FR2. The UE shall
indicate the UE capabilities as follows. In the table of UE capability parameter in subsequent clauses, "Yes" in the
column by "FDD-TDD DIFF" and "FR1-FR2 DIFF" indicates the UE capability field can have a different value for
between FDD and TDD or between FR1 and FR2 and "No" indicates if it cannot. Regarding to the per UE capabilities
that are FDD/TDD differentiated(i.e. capabilities indicated as "Yes" in the column by "FDD-TDD DIFF"), the
corresponding capabilities indicated by the FDD capability is applied to SUL/SDL if SUL/SDL band is supported by
the UE. "FD" in the column indicates to refer the associated field description. "FR1 only" or "FR2 only" in the column
indicates the associated feature is only supported in FR1 or FR2 and "TDD only" indicates the associated feature is only
supported in TDD and not applicable to SUL/SDL carriers. "N/A" in the column indicates it is not applicable to the
feature (e,g. the signalling supports the UE to have different values between FDD and TDD or between FR1 and FR2).

NR/MRDC/Sidelink-Capabilities, fr1-Add-UE-NR/MRDC-Capabilities and fr2-Add-UE-NR/MRDC-
Capabilities, to include the values applicable for all duplex mode(s) and frequency range(s) that the UE supports;

value for FDD (or SUL/SDL) and TDD:

2> if for FDD (and, if the UE supports SUL/SDL, for SUL/SDL), the UE supports additional functionality
compared to what is indicated by the previous fields of UE-NR/MRDC-Capability/SidelinkParameters:
3> include field fdd-Add-UE-NR/MRDC/Sidelink-Capabilities and set it to include fields reflecting the
additional functionality applicable for FDD;
2> if for TDD, the UE supports additional functionality compared to what is indicated by the previous fields of
UE-NR/MRDC-Capability/SidelinkParameters:
3> include field tdd-Add-UE-NR/MRDC/Sidelink-Capabilities and set it to include fields reflecting the
additional functionality applicable for TDD;
1> if UE supports both FR1 and FR2 and if (some of) the UE capability fields have a different value for FR1 and
FR2:
2> if for FR1, the UE supports additional functionality compared to what is indicated by the previous fields of
UE-NR/MRDC-Capability:
3> include field fr1-Add-UE-NR/MRDC-Capabilities and set it to include fields reflecting the additional
functionality applicable for FR1;
2> if for FR2, the UE supports additional functionality compared to what is indicated by the previous fields of
UE-NR/MRDC-Capability:
3> include field fr2-Add-UE-NR/MRDC-Capabilities and set it to include fields reflecting the additional
functionality applicable for FR2;
NOTE 1: The fields which indicate "shall be set to 1" or "shall be set to supported" in the following tables means
these features are purely mandatory and are assumed they are the same as mandatory without capability
signalling.
NOTE 2: For the case where the UE is allowed to support different functionality between FDD and TDD and
between FR1 and FR2 according to the specification, the UE capability indication is clarified in Annex B.
For optional features, the UE radio access capability parameter indicates whether the feature has been implemented and
successfully tested. For mandatory features with the UE radio access capability parameter, the parameter indicates
whether the feature has been successfully tested. In the table of UE capability parameter in subsequent clauses, "Yes" in
the column by "M" indicates the associated feature is mandatory and "No" indicates the associated feature is optional.
"CY" in the column indicates the associated feature is conditional mandatory and the condition is described in the field
description and the associated feature is considered mandatory with capability parameter, when the described condition
is satisfied. "FD" in the column indicates to refer the associated field description. Some parameters in subsequent
clauses are not related to UE features and in the case, "N/A" is indicated in the column.
UE capability parameters have hierarchical structure. In the table of UE capability parameter in subsequent clauses,
"Per" indicates the level the associated parameter is included. "UE" in the column indicates the associated parameter is
signalled per UE, "Band" indicates it is signalled per band, "BC" indicates it is signalled per band combination, "FS"
indicates it is signalled per feature set (per band per band combination), "FSPC" indicates it is signalled per feature set
per component carrier (per CC per band per band combination), and "FD" in the column indicates to refer the associated
field description.
NOTE 3: Unless otherwise specified, for dependent capabilities with prerequisite capability in a finer granularity,
the UE should indicate support of the prerequisite capability in at least one finer granularity. And the
dependent capability is supported only in the finer granularity where the prerequisite capability is
supported, e.g. a UE indicating support of supportNewDMRS-Port-r16 (dependent capability which is
defined per band) should indicate at least one band combination where singleDCI-SDM-scheme-r16
(prerequisite capability which is defined per feature set) is supported in the corresponding band. In this
case, supportNewDMRS-Port-r16 is considered supported only in the corresponding band of the band
combination where singleDCI-SDM-scheme-r16 is supported.
