Abstract
A method and system for dynamically controlling service capability configuration in a system in which a UE is served concurrently on at least two air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node and in which the UE applies a dynamic power sharing to control uplink transmit power of the UE respectively on each connection. In an example method, the UE's power headroom on the first connection is determined and is used as a basis to control service capability configuration for service of the UE on the second connection. For instance, based on the UE's power headroom on the first connection, second-connection capabilities data of the UE could be reconfigured to add or remove a service feature capability.
