Abstract
In 5G Non-Standalone (NSA), to balance the load on 5G users and 4G users effectively, the disclosed technology selects the proper secondary cell group (SCG), when the master cell group (MCG) is provided by 4G infrastructure. E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual Connectivity (ENDC) allows users to connect to a 4G MCG and a 5G SCG (SCG). The technology selects the SCG based on each user's application's attributes such as UL/DL data volume, speed or bandwidth.
