Abstract

A technique for providing multiple connectivity to a terminal device by at least a first Radio Access Network, RAN entity and a second RAN entity is disclosed. The first RAN entity serves as a control plane anchor and the split bearer will be anchored at the second RAN entity. The method comprises triggering, by the first RAN entity, the second RAN entity to set up the split bearer on the user plane. The split bearer comprises at least a first bearer leg from the second RAN entity via the first RAN entity to the terminal device and a second bearer leg from the second RAN entity to the terminal device without going through the first RAN entity.
