Claim 5:
6. A node of a core network configured to perform operations, comprising:
processing a first user equipment (UE) capability report from a first UE;, processing a second UE capability report from a second UE, wherein the first UE capability report and the second UE capability report include a same UE capability ID for the first UE and the second UE;
determining the core network does not have a record of the UE capability ID;
sending, to an access network, a request to retrieve capabilities from the first UE and second UE using a band filter associated with a public land mobile network (PLMN) in response to determining the core network does not have a record of the UE capability ID;
processing a first further UE capability report including a partial UE capability information compiled using the band filter associated with the PLMN and a partial tag added by one or more baseband processors of an apparatus of a node of the access network from the first UE;
processing a second further UE capability report including a partial UE capability information compiled using the band filter associated with the PLMN and a partial tag added by the one or more baseband processors of the apparatus of the node of the access network from the second UE;
tagging each of the further UE capability report with one of multiple geographical areas within the PLMN from which the respective further UE capability information was retrieved; and
storing the each further UE capability in a database.
