Adding of a secondary base station based on a backhaul interface
A second base station transmits a message to a first base station. Based on the second base station having a backhaul interface to a third base station, the message includes parameters of one or more cells of the third base station. The second base station transmits, to the first base station, a request to add the first base station as a secondary base station. The second base station receives, from the first base station and based on the message, a request of a change of the secondary base station from the first base station to the third base station.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a measurement report for the one or more cells of the third base station is received by the first base station from the wireless device, and wherein the receiving the request of the change of the secondary base station is based on the measurement report.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprising the parameters of the one or more cells of the third base station is based on the second base station being capable of performing a dual-connectivity with one or more cells of the third base station.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first base station and the third base station are a new radio (NR) base station; and
the second base station is a long-term evolution (LTE) base station.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, from the second base station to the first base station, a response for the request of the change of the secondary base station, wherein the first base station is configured to release a wireless device context of the wireless device based on the response.
8. A second base station, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the second base station to:
transmit a message to a first base station, wherein, based on the second base station having a backhaul interface to a third base station, the message comprises parameters of one or more cells of the third base station;
transmit, to the first base station, a request to add the first base station as a secondary base station; and
receive, from the first base station and based on the message, a request of a change of the secondary base station from the first base station to the third base station.
9. The second base station of claim 8 , wherein the based on the second base station having the backhaul interface to the third base station comprises the second base station being capable of performing a dual-connectivity with one or more cells of the third base station.
10. The second base station of claim 9 , wherein the one or more cells of the third base station are one or more new radio (NR) cells.
11. The second base station of claim 9 , wherein a measurement report for the one or more cells of the third base station is received by the first base station from the wireless device, and wherein the receipt of the request of the change of the secondary base station is based on the measurement report.
12. The second base station of claim 8 , wherein the message comprising the parameters of the one or more cells of the third base station is based on the second base station being capable of performing a dual-connectivity with one or more cells of the third base station.
13. The second base station of claim 8 , wherein:
the first base station and the third base station are a new radio (NR) base station; and
the second base station is a long-term evolution (LTE) base station.
14. The second base station of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the second base station to transmit, to the first base station, a response for the request of the change of the secondary base station, and wherein the first base station is configured to release a wireless device context of the wireless device based on the response.
15. A first base station, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first base station to:
receive a message from a second base station, wherein, based on the second base station having a backhaul interface to a third base station, the message comprises parameters of one or more cells of the third base station;
receive, from the second base station, a request to add the first base station as a secondary base station; and
transmit, to the second base station and based on the message, a request of a change of the secondary base station from the first base station to the third base station.
16. The first base station of claim 15 , wherein the based on the second base station having the backhaul interface to the third base station comprises the second base station being capable of performing a dual-connectivity with one or more cells of the third base station.
17. The first base station of claim 16 , wherein the one or more cells of the third base station are one or more new radio (NR) cells.
18. The first base station of claim 16 , wherein a measurement report for the one or more cells of the third base station is received by the first base station from the wireless device, and wherein the transmission of the request of the change of the secondary base station is based on the measurement report.
19. The first base station of claim 15 , wherein the message comprising the parameters of the one or more cells of the third base station is based on the second base station being capable of performing a dual-connectivity with one or more cells of the third base station.
20. The first base station of claim 15 , wherein:
the first base station and the third base station are a new radio (NR) base station; and
the second base station is a long-term evolution (LTE) base station.
