Abstract
A user device may receive from a base station, information indicating that support for a receive limited user device is enabled based on a presence of a threshold number of receive limited user devices within a range of a cell of the base station. A receive limited user device is a user device that is unable to receive a transmission that was transmitted based on one or more communication capabilities of a full set of communication capabilities. The user device may select, in response to receiving the information, one or more communication capabilities to support a receive limited user device. The user device may transmit information using the selected one or more communication capabilities.
