UEs of category 4 and onwards support carrier aggregation. There is an IE "supportedBandCombination" which exactly tell to eNodeB what combination of bands UE can support for carrier aggregation. For details you can check UE Capability Information message defined in RRC and S1-AP specifications.

Hi vimal,

Thanks vimal for your answer. yes, i do know about those IEs. supported band combinations, bandwidth classes, bandwidth combination sets . but when UE reports its category, how Network decides particular category UE supports CA or not.
During the attach procedure, eNodeB executes UE capability enquiry procedure. As result, eNodeB gets the UE capability and takes actions based on the supported features. eNodeB also forwards this UE capability information to MME. Next time when UE makes radio connection with eNodeB, this UE capability information is provided by MME to eNodeB so that eNodeB does not need to execute UE capability transfer procedure.

If LTE network has deployed CA with 2 CC of 15 MHz, can a UE use CA with only 10 MHz on each CC? Can Network handle such scenario and just allocate 10 MHz for one UE? If possible, please share the related specs.

I have a 3 part question
1) How does the EnodeB know if the user equipment supports carrier aggregation or not?
2) If a UE does not support carrier aggregation does it mean it’s a Release 9 or lesser compliant UE?
3) If the answer to question 2 is yes , then how does the UE not supporting carrier aggregation(release 9 or lesser UE) decode a DCI message sent from a EnodeB that is currently supporting LTE A(Release10) , as the DCI message (say DCI format 0) contains extra bits?
