Carrier Aggregation: UE Capability

To configure Carrier Aggregation, Network send Secondary Cell (SCell)

configuration to only those UEs which are release 10 and support Carrier
Aggregation. Otherwise, UE wouldn't be able to process the SCell
configuration from the network and abnormal things will happen. Also,
network should be aware of for which all band combinations CA can be
configured i.e. which band's cell should be used for SCell.

Now question here is, how would network know if UE is supporting Carrier
Aggregation or not and if supporting, which all band combinations can be
used for CA?? The answer is UECapabilityInformation Message. During Lte
Registration procedure, UE reports detailed Carrier Aggregation (CA)
capability in UECapabilityInfomration Message. Please refer the following
MSC:

As per spec 36,331, UECapabilityInformation has following release 10 IEs:

The best way to figure out "what information these blue colored IEs are
passing to the network" is, to take a real UECapabilityInformation message
from a CA capable UE log and go through the IEs and it's values. We shall
do this in the next section of Example UECapability. However, before that
lets have a quick look into the below 3GPP tables from 36101:
