Abstract
A policy enhancement for mixed capabilities of devices may include a first User Equipment (UE) that publishes to a presence server via an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Core network and a Rich Communication Services (RCS) node. A second UE may subscribe to the first UE by requesting information about the first UE from the presence server. The presence server may determine that the first UE is one of multiple instantiations of a same device. The presence server may determine that a third UE is another instantiation of the same device as the first UE, and that the third UE is a lesser-capable device (e.g., non-Universal Profile enabled) with respect to the first UE. The presence server may send a notify message including a capability indicator associated with the third UE to the second UE, and/or the notify message may omit a capability indicator associated with the first UE.
