Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to the field of Radio Resource Control (RRC). More specifically, the present disclosure relates to techniques of supporting and initiating RRC connection establishment in a wireless communication network. A method embodiment relates to supporting RRC connection establishment in a wireless communication network and comprises setting up context information during a first RRC connection establishment procedure to establish a first RRC connection towards a radio access network element (200) of the wireless communication network implementing a first Radio Access Technology (RAT). The context information is associated with a wireless communication device (100) of the wireless communication network and is usable for a second RRC connection establishment procedure to establish a second RRC connection towards a radio access network element of the wireless communication network implementing a second RAT.
