Abstract
An apparatus for use by a communication element or function configured to conduct a multi-connectivity communication in a communication network in which at least two communication links are used to at least two different cells formed by at least one network element or function for forming a communication path, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to determine that a link failure recovery procedure for a first communication link with a first cell is conducted, to detect that a condition for performing a conditional cell change procedure for a second communication link to a second cell is met, which is to be conducted during the link failure recovery procedure for the first communication link, to execute a processing for controlling a timing for conducting at least one of the link failure recovery procedure for the first communication link and the conditional cell change procedure for the second communication link, and to conduct at least one of the link failure recovery process procedure and the conditional cell change procedure according to a result of the processing for controlling the timing.
