Abstract
There are provided apparatuses, methods and computer program products. In accordance with an embodiment, there is disclosed a method comprising activating a secondary cell group provided by a secondary node co-operating with a master node for providing dual-connectivity communication resources for a user equipment. The activation is initiated either by the secondary node or the master node. Wherein when the activation is initiated by the secondary node a request is formed to activate the secondary cell group and the request is sent on a data radio bearer to the master node to be delivered to the user equipment for activation of the secondary cell group; and an activation indication is received from the user equipment. Wherein when the activation is initiated by the master node at least one message is received from the user equipment or from the master node; and initiation of the activation of the secondary cell group provided by the secondary node is determined based on the received at least one message.
