    Abstract: A base station, in communication with a UE using a first serving cell, determines a need to perform a security update for the UE and sends a command including information to perform the security update and indication of a time to execute the security update to change to a new security configuration. In response to the time occurring, a security update is performed to a new security configuration for use for communication with the UE using a second serving cell. The UE receives the information and the indication and performs, without performing a random-access procedure, the security update to the new security configuration to use for communication with the second serving cell.

    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform: receiving, from a network node, configuration for a conditional change of primary cell of a secondary cell group; performing evaluation of one or more conditions for the conditional change; selecting a primary cell based on the evaluation; determining an activation status to be applied for a target secondary cell group associated with the selected primary cell based on at least one of the following: activation status of a source secondary cell group, the received configuration, pre-configuration; executing the conditional change to the selected primary cell; and applying the determined activation status for the target secondary cell group associated with the selected primary cell.

    Abstract: A method including using master cell group resources for a downlink data transmission to a user equipment, wherein the user equipment is configured with at least one secondary cell group terminated split bearer and a secondary cell group is deactivated; determining, at a centralized central unit user plane, when secondary cell group resources of the deactivated secondary cell group are needed, wherein the determining is based, at least partially, on a data volume threshold for a data radio bearer as configured by a central unit control plane; and based upon the determining that the secondary cell group resources are needed, sending a notification to the central unit control plane to trigger activation of the secondary cell group resources.

    Abstract: A method is provided that includes receiving, at a layer of a radio protocol stack, a first uplink unit of data from a higher layer of the radio protocol stack. The first uplink unit of data is in a set of one or more first uplink units of data, and the set is marked with information including an importance value associated with the set that identifies a relative importance of the set compared to other sets within a quality of service flow. The method includes constructing a second uplink unit of data from the first uplink unit of data. And the method includes making a determination to submit the second uplink unit of data to a lower layer of the radio protocol stack, or buffer the second uplink unit of data, based on the importance value associated with the set, and a threshold importance value.

    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus configured to perform method comprising: supporting a split bearer involving a first entity associated with a primary path of the split bearer and a second entity associated with secondary path of the split bearer, wherein the first entity and the second entity are configured for data transfer; determining a total amount of data volume for the data transfer; if the total amount of data volume for the data transfer is greater than or equal to a threshold value of the split bearer, submitting a Packet Data Convergence Protocol, PDCP, protocol data unit, PDU, to either the first entity or the second entity; if the total amount of data volume for the data transfer is less than the threshold value of the split bearer, submitting the PDCP PDU to the first entity if the primary path is available to use, and submitting the PDCP PDU to the second entity if the primary path is not available to use.
