Technique for handling subscription-related capability information stored in a core network domain

Abstract

A technique of handling capability information stored in a subscriber database in a core network domain of a wireless communication network is presented. A method implementation of the technique comprises receiving a subscriber capability request, wherein the subscriber capability request includes an identifier associated with a subscription. The method further comprises retrieving from the subscriber database, in response to the subscriber capability request, subscriber capability information for the subscription associated with the first identifier. The subscriber capability information is indicative of support of at least one non-A/V medium different from video (V) and audio (A) in a subscriber domain, such as a olfactory (scent-related) or tactile (haptic) medium. Further still, the method comprises sending a subscriber capability response including the subscriber capability information.
