Methods and apparatuses for deactivating and activating a secondary cell group (SCG) in a multiradio dual connectivity (MR-DC) scenario

Abstract

Embodiments of the present application relate to methods and apparatuses for deactivating and activating a secondary cell group (SCG) in a multi-radio dual connectivity (MR-DC) scenario under a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5G New Radio (NR) system or the like. According to an embodiment of the present application, a method can include: in response to determining to activate a SCG, transmitting state information for one or more secondary cells (SCells), wherein the one or more SCells are associated with the SCG; and in response to determining to deactivate the SCG, transmitting the state information for the one or more SCells and transmitting configuration information regarding a behaviour of a user equipment (UE).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
