Abstract: User equipment (UE) within dual connectivity (DC) architecture with a Master Node-B (MN) and a Secondary Node-B (SN) includes processing circuitry decoding connection reconfiguration information from the MN. The connection reconfiguration information includes signaling radio bearer type 3 (SRB3) configuration information. The SRB3 configuration information originates from the SN and configures a SRB3, the SRB3 for a radio resource control (RRC) connection between the UE and the SN. An RRC connection reconfiguration request message received from the SN via the SRB3 is decoded. The RRC connection reconfiguration request message includes UE new radio (NR) security capability information of the SN. The processing circuitry further determines whether the UE NR security capability information received from the SN matches UE NR security capability information received by the UE from the MN.

Abstract: Inter-operator sounding reference signal (SRS) resource coordination is discussed in spatial divisional multiplex (SDM) coordinated multipoint (CoMP) operations. The higher priority operator conveys SRS resource reservation information identifying the fraction of resources it intends to use. The lower priority operator observes this resource reservation information and selects to reserve SRS resources from the remaining fraction of resources, if any, for scheduling its own users' SRS. The lower priority operator will transmit its own resource reservation information identifying the amount of SRS resources that it has identified for the non-priority use.
