FGI (Feature Group Indicators)
FeatureGroupIndicator is a special IE (Information Element) within UE Capability Information message. Other parts of UE Capability Information mostly carries about the pure physical layer capability (e.g, UE-Category, Supported Bands, Carrier Aggregation combination etc), but FeatureGroupIndicator mostly carries the infromation about Radio protocol aspects.
This information would be used by eNB or MME before they setup any procedure for a specific UE (It will of no point of directing UE to do something that is not supported). Also this information can be a very important troubleshooting tools for test engineers. If some UE fails in some protocol testing (like Handover, a specific type of measurement etc), it would be a good practice to check this information from UE and see if the feature to be tested is supported by the DUT.
The meaning of each bit field in FGI is defined as follows in 3GPP specification :
Followings are some examples of FeatureGroupIndicator settings. Every LTE release (e.g, Rel 8, Rel 9, Rel 10 etc) has its own set of FGIs. The meaning of each indicators are described in 36.331 Annex B and Annex C.
