1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory;
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive a radio resource control (RRC) release message to transition the UE from a first RRC state to an RRC inactive state, the RRC inactive state being a state where an RRC connection is suspended, which is different from an RRC idle state where no RRC connection is established;
transition to the RRC inactive state; and
transmit a resume message to one or more network nodes, the resume message identifying one or more target nodes to which UE context information is to be transferred to establish an RRC connection with the one or more target nodes based at least in part on the UE context information, the UE supporting multi-connectivity operation.
