User Equipment, Network Node and Methods in a Wireless Communications Network

A method performed by a User Equipment (UE), for handling Secondary Cell Group (SCG) operation in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:

• determining a preferred mode of operation associated to an SCG, and
• transmitting, to a network node, a message comprising the determined preferred mode of operation associated to the SCG.

A method performed by a network node for handling Secondary Cell Group (SCG) operation in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a User Equipment (UE), a message comprising a determined preferred mode of operation associated to an SCG.

The method according to claim 31, further comprising transmitting a configuration to the UE, configuring the UE to determine a preferred mode of operation associated to the SCG, and upon the fulfillment of a triggering condition, transmit to the network node, a message comprising the determined preferred mode of operation associated to the SCG.

A User Equipment (UE) configured to handle Secondary Cell Group (SCG) operation in a wireless communications network, wherein the UE comprises:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• determine a preferred mode of operation associated to an SCG, and
• transmit, to a network node, a message adapted to comprise the determined preferred mode of operation associated to the SCG.

A network node configured to handle Secondary Cell Group (SCG) operation in a wireless communications network, wherein the network node comprises:

• processing circuitry configured to receive, from a User Equipment (UE), a message that comprises a determined preferred mode of operation associated to an SCG.
