SgNB Change
In 3GPP, intra-SgNB change (cells under the same gNodeB after the change) and inter-SgNB change (cells under differ
ent gNodeBs after the change) are supported. It can also be intra-frequency SgNB change and inter-frequency SgNB c
hange.

Coverage-based Intra-frequency SgNB Change
In 5G RAN1.0, only coverage-based intra-frequency SgNB change is supported.
After an EN-DC UE sets up a radio bearer, the eNodeB sends the UE the Measurement Configuration message containi
ng the configuration for intra-frequency measurements. The UE performs related measurements based on the configurati
on.
If the measurement configuration is updated when the EN-DC UE is in connected mode or completes a SgNB change, th
e eNodeB sends the RRC Connection Reconfiguration to notify the UE of all or partial of the updated measurement confi
gurations. In other cases, the initial measurement configuration will be used.
In 3GPP, measurement configurations can be delivered by the MeNB or SgNB in EN-DC networking. In 5G RAN1.0, the
control plane is supported only on the MeNB. This section describes only EN-DC networking in which the control plane is
set up on the MeNB.

Intra-MeNB Handover
In 5G RAN1.0, if the source SgNB is not released by the MeNB when an intra-MeNB handover takes place, an
intra-MeNB handover with SgNB is performed.

Inter-MeNB Handover
In 5G RAN1.0, inter-MeNB handover with SgNB is not supported.

2. UE Measurement and
Reporting
UEs perform measurement based on measurement configurations. When the signal quality of a neighbori
ng cell meets the criteria for trigging event A3, they report the measurement results of the neighboring cell
to the MeNB.
