Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014162203A2] Method and apparatus for supporting dual connectivity is provided in this invention. The method includes: an initialization step, when a UE initially accesses a macro base station, connecting the UE to a Pcell such that a current LCH is handled by the Pcell, wherein the Pcell is associated with the macro base station and operates on a primary component carrier; an indication step for indicating to the UE through a dedicated RRC message that the LCH is to be handled by the macro base station or a small cell base station, or is to be handled by the Pcell or a Scell, wherein the Scell operates on a secondary component carrier.
