1. A method for transfer of a user equipment (UE) context within a secondary network from a secondary network node to a new secondary network node, wherein the UE is served by a master network node and the secondary network node, the method comprising:
the UE receiving a measurement configuration constructed by the secondary network node;
the UE performing, based on the received measurement configuration, measurements of potential candidates for a new secondary network node; and
the UE sending a measurement report indicative of the measurements of potential candidates for the new secondary node.
