    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for informing a multi-connectivity master node of an impending wrap around of packet counter value are provided. One method includes receiving, from a nodehosting packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) for a data radio bearer (DRB), a counter check request including a count value, and determining that the count value is approaching its maximum value. In response to the determining, the method may further include initiating release of the data radio bearer (DRB) and optionally adding a new bearer.
