Abstract
A method is intended for establishing a dual connectivity between a user equipment and a MeNB and a SeNB. This method includes i) a first step during which the MeNB chooses a SeNB to offload a data rate requested by the user equipment, ii) a second step during which the MeNB sends a resource request, including data defining at least complementary radio resources to be allocated, E-RAB parameters, TNL address information, user equipment capabilities, current radio resource configuration for the user equipment, and a user equipment history cell information, to the chosen SeNB, and iii) a third step during which the chosen SeNB determines from these received data and from its not yet allocated radio resources if it can allocate the requested complementary radio resources for the user equipment and how to set corresponding radio parameters.
