Abstract

Embodiments include methods performed by an evolved Node B (eNB) configured with a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio access technology (RAT). Such methods include managing access to resources of the LTE RAT by a user equipment (UE) served by the eNB, based on one or more radio resource management (RRM) policies for the LTE RAT. Such methods also include sending, to a next-generation Node B (gNB) configured with a New Radio (NR) RAT, a request to establish dual connectivity with the UE as a secondary node (SN), wherein the request includes a Subscribers Profile ID for RAT/Frequency Priority (SPID) that is associated with the one or more RRM policies. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by a gNB, as well as eNBs and gNBs configured to perform such methods.
