1. A second device comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program codes;
the at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the second device at least to:
transmit a capability indication of the second device to a first device, the capability indication associated with at least one capability of the second device for performing radio access to the first device;
receive a set of radio configuration profiles for the second device from the first device, the set of radio configuration profiles indicating a plurality of available configuration parameters of the radio access;
establish a connection with the first device based on the set of radio configuration profiles;
request suspension of the connection with the first device;
generate and transmit a resuming request to the first device to initiate a resumption of connection procedure with the first device, the resuming request comprising an expected radio configuration profile selected from the set of radio configuration profiles received from the first device; and
receive a resuming response from the first device, the resuming response comprising an indication that the connection is to be resumed based on the radio configuration profile active before transmission of the request for suspension, or receive a resuming response from the first device, the resuming response comprising an indication that the connection is to be resumed based on a specific radio configuration profile selected by the first device, the specific radio configuration profile comprising a radio configuration profile that is different to the radio configuration profile that was active before transmission of the request for suspension,
wherein the second device is caused to establish the connection by:
receiving an indication of a target configuration profile from the set of radio configuration profiles for the second device to establish the connection with the first device; and
establishing the connection based on the target configuration profile,
wherein the second device is further caused to:
in response to receiving a mapping between the capability indication and the set of radio configuration profiles from the first device, store the mapping for performing a subsequent radio access to the first device with a capability pattern,
generate a response message indicating that the connection has been established successfully, the response message comprising an indication of an activation radio configuration profile from the set of radio configuration profiles for the second device to establish the connection with the first device; and
transmit the response message to the first device,
wherein when the second device intends to establish a connection with a further first device in a same network condition, the second device requests a radio resource control connection procedure with the capability indication and uses the set of radio configuration profiles directly with the further first device using the stored mapping.
