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

An apparatus for retrieving capability information from a subscriber database in a core network domain (CND) of a wireless communication network, the apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory configured to store a control program that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configures the processing circuitry to:
• receive a subscriber capability request, wherein the subscriber capability request includes an identifier associated with a subscription;
• retrieve from the subscriber database, in response to the subscriber capability request, subscriber capability information for the subscription associated with the identifier, wherein the subscriber capability information is indicative of support of at least one non-AN medium different from video (V) and audio (A) in a subscriber domain (SD);
• selecting one or more core network entities for digital content transmission session handling based on the subscriber capability information that is indicative of support of the at least one non-A/V medium;
• and
• send a subscriber capability response including the subscriber capability information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by processing circuitry of an apparatus configured to retrieve capability information from a subscriber database in a core network domain (CND) of a wireless communication network, configures the apparatus to:

• receive a subscriber capability request, wherein the subscriber capability request includes an identifier associated with a subscription;
• retrieve from the subscriber database, in response to the subscriber capability request, subscriber capability information for the subscription associated with the identifier, wherein the subscriber capability information is indicative of support of at least one non-AN medium different from video (V) and audio (A) in a subscriber domain (SD);
• selecting one or more core network entities for digital content transmission session handling based on the subscriber capability information that is indicative of support of the at least one non-AN medium;
• and
• send a subscriber capability response including the subscriber capability information.
