    Abstract: Systems and methods for a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-radio dual connectivity (MR-DC) mode with a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN) are described herein. A UE receives master cell group (MCG) configuration information for an MCG link with the MN and secondary cell group (SCG) configuration information for an SCG link with the SN, attendant to an attempted MR-DC transition. The UE validates the MCG configuration information and determines that the SCG configuration cannot be applied. The UE applies the MCG configuration information and sends the MN a message indicating that the MCG configuration information and the SCG configuration information were each applied (thereby avoiding a determination of overall MR-DC transition failure due to the unusable SCG configuration information). The UE later sends the MN a message indicating that the SCG configuration information cannot be applied, allowing the network to appropriately react.
