APPARATUS FOR MANAGING CAPABILITIES IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A method of managing capabilities in a telecommunications network comprises the steps of (i) receiving a request for an unspecified service having an associated set of service capabilities; (ii) determining whether at least one constraint to providing the unspecified service with the associated set of service capabilities exists, and (iii) establishing the selected service by dynamically providing the associated set of capabilities in response to the at least one constraint not existing.
