1. At least one computer-readable storage medium, excluding transitory signals and carrying instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a server system in a cellular wireless telecommunications network, cause the system to:
receive capability information from a user equipment (UE) in the wireless telecommunications network,
wherein the capability information indicates a version of the UE;
map the version of the UE to a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release version;
determine, based on the 3GPP Release version, that a system information update is required for the UE; and,
transmit an updated system information (SI) message to the UE in response to determining that that the system information update is required,
wherein the updated SI message comprises one or more non-legacy System Information Blocks (SIBs),
wherein to transmit the updated SI message to the UE comprises transmitting the updated SI message on demand on a downlink shared channel (DL-SCH), and
wherein the updated SI message is transmitted to the UE without a request from the UE corresponding to the updated SI message.
