Apparatus, methods, and computer programs

An apparatus for a master access point, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising code that, when executed by the at least one apparatus, causes the master access point to:
• transmit, to a terminal, assistance information, the assistance information comprising configuration information for a first Primary Secondary Cell, candidate PSCell, and a second candidate PSCell, and a first indication of whether the first and second candidate PSCell are associated with a common master cell configuration.

A method for an apparatus for a terminal, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a master access point, assistance information, the assistance information comprising configuration information for a first candidate Primary Secondary Cell, PSCell, and a second candidate PSCell, and a first indication of whether the first and second candidate PSCell are associated with a common master cell configuration;
• determining a failure condition that occurred when connecting with the first candidate PSCell;
• and
• using, in response to the determining, the first indication to determine whether to attempt to connect with the second candidate PSCell.
