Conditional Secondary Node Change Coordination

The patent applies preliminary action by having the UE check conditions (such as signal quality thresholds) before executing the SN addition or change procedure. The network configures conditional procedures with specific conditions that must be satisfied beforehand, ensuring that the procedure only executes when appropriate, thus reducing failure probability while maintaining efficient execution when conditions are met

The patent uses the UE as an intermediary that performs local condition checking and decision-making. Instead of complex coordination between all network nodes, the UE autonomously evaluates configured conditions and executes procedures when appropriate. This simplifies network node coordination while maintaining high reliability through distributed intelligence at the UE side

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring conditional procedures with all necessary conditions and parameters before execution. The UE checks these pre-configured conditions locally without requiring additional messaging latency during execution. This approach maintains low system complexity while eliminating runtime coordination overhead and reducing overall procedure latency
