User Equipment, Radio Network Node and Methods Performed Therein for Handling Communication

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for receiving configuration data in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

• receiving configuration data from a network node for configuring the UE with the following:
• an early measurement configuration, by which the UE is configured to perform measurements in a dormant state, and
• one or more secondary cell group (SCG) configurations that are to be stored by at least one of the UE or the radio network node while the UE is in the dormant state;
• performing early measurements in the dormant state according to the early measurement configuration;
• and
• upon transition to a connected mode, comparing the early measurements to one or more trigger conditions associated with the one or more SCG configurations.

A user equipment (UE) for receiving configuration data in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to:
• receive configuration data from a network node, for configuring the UE:
• with early measurement configuration, for which the UE is configured to perform measurements in a dormant state, and
• with one or more secondary cell group (SCG) configuration that are to be stored by at least one of the UE or the radio network node while the UE is in the dormant state;
• perform early measurements in a dormant state according to the early measurement configuration;
• and
• upon transition to a connected mode, compare the early measurements to one or more trigger conditions associated with the one or more SCG configurations.

A radio network node for enabling or handling communication of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the radio network node configured to serve the UE, the radio network node comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the radio network node to:
• configure the UE with an early measurement configuration, for which the UE is configured to perform measurements in a dormant state, and with one or more SCG configuration(s) to be stored by at least one of the UE or the radio network node while the UE is in the dormant state.
