摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to Dual Connectivity (DC) for a wireless device is a wireless communication network. In some embodiments, a method in a secondary node for providing, along with a master node, DC for a wireless device such that the wireless device is configured to utilize resources provided by both the master node and the secondary node in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, from the master node, a release request. The release request is a request to release a wireless device context of the wireless device or to release resources for the wireless device. The method further comprises sending a release reject to the master node. The release reject is an indication that the secondary node rejects the release request
