1. A method performed by a wireless device of incrementally distributing wireless device capability information, the method comprising:
receiving a first device capability enquiry from a first network node;
transmitting a user equipment (UE) model identifier (UE-ModelId) to the first network node, wherein the UE-ModelId identifies a set of device capabilities for all wireless devices that share the same UE-ModelId; and
transmitting a subset of device capabilities associated with the UE-ModelId to the first network node, such that the subset of device capabilities is stored to build a larger set of device capabilities associated with the UE-ModelId.
