Abstract: For dual connectivity with a UE where a master radio access node communicates using one of an older or newer radio access technology (RAT) and a secondary radio access node communicates using the other of the older or newer RAT, the master node a) sends to the secondary node an addition request message comprising configuration information enabling the secondary node to operate with the master node for dual connectivity with a user equipment (UE); b) receives from the secondary node in reply a request acknowledgement message acknowledging participation by the secondary node in the dual connectivity; and thereafter c) participates in the dual connectivity when communicating wirelessly with the UE. The addition request and request acknowledgement messages are in accordance with RRC signaling of the older RAT regardless which of the older and the newer RAT the master node uses when participating in the dual connectivity.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to channel information transmitting for dormant bandwidth part. According to embodiments, a solution for channel information transmitting for dormant bandwidth part has been proposed. A terminal device is configured a periodicity when an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) is a dormant BWP. The periodicity is different from a further periodicity which is configured and used when the active DL BWP is a non-dormant BWP. The terminal device uses resourced configured for the active uplink (UL) BWP but with the different periodicity. In this way, it allows sounding reference signal (SRS)/channel state information (CSI) reporting without duplicating configurations of BWPs. It can configure a required longer periodicity but reduce the SRS configuration for each UL BWP.

Abstract: A technique of performing a HO includes the source BS sending a HO resume message to the UE at the conclusion of a RACH access procedure that occurs in response to a HO command while a second TRX of the UE continues to exchange data packets with the source BS as if no HO command were issued. By continuing to exchange data with the source BS as if there were no HO command until the HO resume message reintroduces a RACH-less HO procedure, the interruption may be reduced to about 4 msec. At any point in time the UE handles only one protocol stack and only one security, which avoids the complexity of the advanced prior art methods.
