    Abstract: A method and apparatus for support of load balancing for supplementary uplink (SUL) in central unit (CU)-distributed unit (DU) architecture in a new radio access technology (NR) is provided. A gNB central unit (gNB-CU) receives, from at least one gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU), information related to a load status of supplementary uplink (SUL) for the at least one gNB-DU, and determines to adjust at least one parameter related to the SUL for a gNB-DU, among the at least one gNB-DU, based on the information related to the load status of the SUL for the gNB-DU. Upon receiving information related to the at least one parameter related to the SUL from the gNB-CU, the gNB-DU may adjust the at least one parameter related to the SUL based on the information related to the at least one parameter related to the SUL.

    Abstract: As one aspect of mobility enhancement of 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long-term evolution (LTE)-wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation, inter-eNodeB (eNB) handover without WLAN termination (WT) change is considered. A source eNB transmits a handover request message including a WT identifier (ID) and WT XwAP ID to a target eNB. The target eNB transmits a WT addition request message including the WT XwAP ID to a WT, and receives a WT addition request acknowledge message from the WT. The target eNB transmits a handover request acknowledge message indicating that a WT is kept to the source eNB. The source eNB transmits a WT release request message indicating that the WT is kept to the WT. The WT is a logical node that terminates a Xw interface on a WLAN.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) radio access bearer (E-RAB) switch failure for dual connectivity in a wireless communication system is provided. A master evolved NodeB (MeNB) in dual connectivity receives an E-RAB modification confirm message including a list of E-RABs failed to be modified from a mobility management entity (MME). The MeNB may keep old general packet ratio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnels for the failed E-RABs, and trigger a secondary eNB (SeNB) release procedure or a SeNB modification procedure for releasing the failed E-RABs. Alternatively, the MeNB may trigger an E-RAB release procedure for releasing the failed E-RABs.
