Abstract
A method may include receiving, by a secondary node of a third radio access technology (RAT) that is operating as a secondary node for an inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) dual connectivity connection with a user device from a master node of a first RAT that is operating as a master node for the inter-RAT dual connectivity connection with the user device, a release request including a forward without sequence number indication that instructs the secondary node of the third RAT to forward, without sequence numbers, data for the dual connectivity connection to a target node of a second RAT, wherein the second RAT is different than the first RAT; and forwarding, by the secondary node of the third RAT towards the target node of the second RAT, via a data forwarding path that omits the master node of the first RAT, data without sequence numbers to the target node.
