    Abstract: Data forwarding may be useful in many communication systems. Thus, for example, data forwarding support may be useful in dual connectivity in, for example, the third generation partnership project (3GPP) and more particularly to dual connectivity with enabled downlink (DL) data back forwarding. A method can include receiving, by a first network node, an indication indicating that for at least one split bearer, data received prior to the indication is to be forwarded to a second network node. The indication can also indicate that the at least one split bearer should be kept or maintained at the first network node. The method can also include, in response to the received indication, forwarding the data for the at least one split bearer received prior to the indication to the second network node.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention generally relate to mobile communications networks. For example, some embodiments relate to secondary cell group change procedure(s) for dual connectivity. A method may include receiving, at a network node, a secondary network node modification required message comprising secondary cell group configuration information for one or more secondary cell group data radio bearer type changes. The method may also include deciding to reject at least one of the one or more secondary cell group data radio bearer type changes. The method may further include sending a secondary network node modification request comprising an indication that the at least one secondary cell group data radio bearer type change is rejected by the network node, and that release of at least one or more secondary cell group data radio bearers is to be performed.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus can be configured to detect that a signaling strength of a first network entity has dropped below a threshold. The method can also include transmitting a measurement report to the first network entity. The method can also include receiving radio-resource-control reconfiguration information from the first network entity. The method can also include transmitting a scheduling request to a second network entity, wherein a random-access-channel procedure is avoided.
