Abstract

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a master node (MN) serving a wireless device with a source secondary node (SN) in a dual connectivity (DC), to the source SN, a request message for context information stored in the source SN;

receiving, by the MN from the source SN, a response message comprising the context information stored in the source SN,

wherein the context information stored in the source SN comprises parameters for synchronous reconfiguration comprising a serving cell configuration, an identity of the wireless device and a timer value for synchronous reconfiguration;

transmitting, by the MN to a target SN, a SN addition request message comprising the parameters for synchronous reconfiguration;

receiving, by the MN from the target SN, a SN addition request acknowledgement message comprising:

i) a delta configuration for the parameters for synchronous reconfiguration, wherein the delta configuration comprises a configuration that is changed with respect to the parameters for synchronous reconfiguration; and

ii) information for a presence of the delta configuration;

transmitting, by the MN to the wireless device, a reconfiguration message for an SN mobility comprising the delta configuration; and

receiving, by the MN from the wireless device, a reconfiguration complete message for the SN mobility.
