Abstract

Embodiments include methods for a first node that is configured for dual connectivity with a user equipment (UE) together with a second node of a wireless network. One of the first and second nodes provides a secondary cell group (SCG) for the UE. Such methods include a first unit of the first node receiving an indication of change in activation status of the SCG for the UE, and the first unit of the first node sending the indication of change in activation status to a second unit of the first node or to a first unit of the second node. Some variants include operations performed by the second unit of the first node. One of the first and second units can be a centralized unit (CU), while the other can be a distributed unit (DU). Other embodiments include first unit and first node apparatus configured to perform such methods.
