1. A method performed in a radio access network (RAN) for configuring a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
transmitting, by a source base station operating in the RAN and to the UE, (i) a conditional configuration related to a base station different from the source base station and operating in the RAN, and (ii) a condition to be satisfied before the UE applies the conditional configuration during one of: a conditional secondary node (SN) change, a conditional SN addition, a conditional primary secondary cell (PScell) change, or a conditional PScell addition;
determining, by the source base station and subsequently to transmitting, that the UE is to unconditionally perform an immediate procedure related to the RAN; and
providing, by the source base station and to the UE, an indication that the UE is to unconditionally perform the immediate procedure and release the conditional configuration.
