1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting, to a cell of a public land mobile network (PLMN), a first request for registration with the PLMN that includes a first UE capability message with a first amount of carrier aggregation (CA) information;
detecting a failure of the first request for registration with the PLMN during a stage of the registration for sending a UE capability message;
determining that a signal-related characteristic for communicating with the cell of the PLMN fails to meet a threshold;
reducing, based on the signal-related characteristic failing to meet the threshold, the first amount of CA information of the first UE capability message to provide a second amount of CA information that is less than first amount of CA information; and
transmitting, to the cell of the PLMN, a second request for registration with the PLMN that includes a second UE capability message with the second amount of CA information.
