An enhanced RRC re-establishment procedure on secondary base station (SeNB) is proposed. A UE with dual connectivity is connected to both a master base station (MeNB) and a secondary eNB (SeNB). The UE performs radio link monitoring (RLM) and radio link failure (RLF) procedures over PCELL served by the MeNB. Once RLF is detected, the UE performs RRC connection reestablishment with a selected cell. From SeNB perspective, the SeNB triggers proactive fetching of UE context from the MeNB to ensure a successful reestablishment. From MeNB perspective, the MeNB provides preference information to the UE for selecting a suitable cell for reestablishment. From UE perspective, the UE considers its mobility state during cell selection such that smallcells are skipped for reestablishment when the UE has high mobility.
