Forward compatibility or upward compatibility is a design characteristic that allows a system to accept input intended for a later version of itself. The concept can be applied to entire systems, electrical interfaces, telecommunication signals, data communication protocols, file formats, and computer programming languages. A standard supports forward compatibility if a product that complies with earlier versions can "gracefully" process input designed for later versions of the standard, ignoring new parts which it does not understand.
Forward compatibility signaling for reduced capability features
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications. An example method includes receiving capability information associated with a user equipment (UE), the capability information including a field with a plurality of bit positions, each bit position corresponding to a respective feature of a plurality of features, wherein a first set of features of the plurality of features are supportable by the network entity and a second set of features are unsupportable by the network entity; and communicating in accordance with the capability information.
