Abstract
Embodiments include methods for configuring a first node of a first radio access technology (RAT) in a radio access network (RAN), for dual connectivity toward a user equipment with nodes of a second RAT in the RAN. Such methods include receiving, from a DNS server, an address of a first node of the second RAT, which is configured to act as an address request proxy for nodes of the first RAT. Such methods include, based on the received address, establishing a first connection with the first node of the second RAT. Such methods also include receiving a third request to set up a second connection with a second node of the second RAT, and sending, to the second node a fourth request, to the second node (e.g., in response to the third request), for the second node to act as address request proxy for the first node of the first RAT.
