Abstract:
A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for handling multiple Secondary Cell Group (SCG) configurations in a wireless communications network is provided.
The UE receives (1201) from a network node:
a first SCG configuration of a first Secondary Node, SN, and an indication of whether or not the first SCG is to be configured as active or inactive, and
a second SCG configuration of a second SN, and an indication of whether or not the second SCG is to be configured as active or inactive. The multiple SCG configurations comprises at least the first SCG configuration and the second SCG configuration.
The UE then decides (1202) whether to handle each respective SCG configuration out of the multiple SCG configurations according to a first option or a second option based on its respective indication.
The first option comprises when one or more out of the respective multiple SCG configurations are indicated to be configured as inactive, storing (1203) that particular SCG configuration.
The second option comprises when one or more out of the respective multiple SCG configurations are indicated to be configured as active, activating (1204) that particular SCG configuration in the UE.

The second option comprises when one or more out of the respective multiple SCG configurations are indicated to be configured as active, activating (1204) that particular SCG configuration in the UE.
