Signaling for multiple radio access technology dual connectivity in wireless network

A method comprising:

• establishing, by a user device, a first connection with a first base station, the first base station associated with a first radio access technology;
• sending, by the user device to the first base station, user device capability information including at least information indicating a first stand-alone peak data rate supported by the user device for the first radio access technology and information indicating a second stand-alone peak data rate supported by the user device for a second radio access technology;
• receiving, by the user device from the first base station, a reconfiguration request to cause the user device to establish a second connection with a second base station associated with the second radio access technology, the reconfiguration request including at least a configuration for the second connection including a configured peak data rate for the second connection for the second radio access technology, the configured peak data rate for the second connection being less than the second stand-alone peak data rate supported by the user device for the second radio access technology;
• establishing the second connection between the user device and the second base station as part of a multi-radio access technology dual connectivity session with the user device;
• and
• receiving, by the user device from the second base station, resources for the second connection in accordance with the configured peak data rate for the second connection.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• establishing a first connection with a first base station, the first base station associated with a first radio access technology;
• sending, to the first base station, user device capability information including at least information indicating a first stand-alone peak data rate supported by the apparatus for the first radio access technology and information indicating a second stand-alone peak data rate supported by the apparatus for a second radio access technology;
• receiving, from the first base station, a reconfiguration request to cause the apparatus to establish a second connection with a second base station associated with the second radio access technology, the reconfiguration request including at least a configuration for the second connection including a configured peak data rate for the second connection for the second radio access technology, the configured peak data rate for the second connection being less than the second stand-alone peak data rate supported by the apparatus for the second radio access technology;
• establishing the second connection between the apparatus and the second base station as part of a multi-radio access technology dual connectivity session with the apparatus;
• and
• receiving, from the second base station, resources for the second connection in accordance with the configured peak data rate for the second connection.
