Abstract
A mechanism for controlling configuration of dual connectivity for a UE that has a first connection with a first access node. The first access node could make a determination whether a level of load of a second access node with which the UE does not yet have a connection is predefined threshold high. If not, then the first access node could apply blind addition, in which the first access node works to add for the UE the second connection without requiring as a condition precedent the UE reporting being in threshold strong coverage of the second access node. Whereas, if so, then the first access node could instead apply threshold-based addition, in which the first access node works to add for the UE the second connection if and when the UE reports being in threshold strong coverage of the second access node.
