A network comprising a first base station (BS) and a second BS is configured to execute instructions of the first BS transmitting a first radio resource control (RRC) message on a signaling radio bearer (SRB) to a communication device, wherein the first RRC message configures a data radio bearer (DRB); the first BS receiving a first RRC response message from the communication device on the SRB, in response to the first RRC message; the first BS receiving a first plurality of packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) Service Data Units (SDUs) associated to the DRB from the communication device; and the first BS performing a dual connectivity (DC) operation procedure for the communication device with the second BS to modify the DRB to be a secondary cell group (SCG) bearer or a split bearer.
