Abstract

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to encode a unique UE identifier to be transmitted to an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of a Fifth Generation (5G) network, wherein the unique identifier identifies UE capabilities to be stored in a UE capabilities database. An apparatus of Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of a Fifth Generation (5G) network comprises one or more processors to receive a user equipment (UE) Capabilities update from a remote server to update a UE capability database that stores UE capability information corresponding to one or more UEs identified with a unique identifier, and to process the UE Capabilities update via one or more Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
