Abstract
User equipment communicates by means of a primary base node and at least one secondary base node of a cellular network that are respectively assigned to different radio access networks. The user equipment sends a first message comprising its available capabilities to the primary base node, and receives a first indication from the primary base node relating to the capabilities being used by the primary base node. It sends a second message to the secondary base node, comprising those capabilities not being used by the primary base node. and receives a second indication from the secondary base node relating to the capabilities being used by the secondary base node. It sends a third message with still unused capabilities to the primary base node. and initiates a communication link with a remote terminal by means of the primary and the secondary base nodes using the configured capabilities.
