Abstract: In a method for transmitting information between mobile stations and a communication network operating according to the method, equipment information identifying additional devices respectively connected to a mobile station is provided by the mobile station and is sent to the communication network, and the equipment information received by the communication network is stored and checked before the allocation of switching-based and/or radio-based resources for a connection setup to the mobile station. The communication network thus is informed about the equipping of the mobile stations with additional devices, so that, before the occupation and allocation of components and transmission capacity, it can already be decided at the network whether it makes sense to execute a particular service (such as e.g.

Abstract: A method and system for storing database information in a central subscriber database to identify a central target subscriber database. A message containing subscriber data of the called radiotelephone subscriber are transmitted to a central target subscriber database. As a result messages containing inquiries to the central subscriber database are not answered directly, as is the case given a standardized transmission protocol, but are forwarded to another central subscriber database in the same mobile radiotelephone network, since the storing therein of the subscriber data for the radiotelephone subscriber is more advantageous or useful. The message branches to the central target subscriber database by using the database information entered in the original central subscriber database. The database information identifies the central target subscriber database.
