Abstract
A method of connecting a User Equipment, UE, with a radio access network, RAN, in a telecommunication network, wherein said RAN comprises a plurality of Baseband Units, BBU's, wherein said UE comprises two multi layered protocol stacks that can be used for same type of connections with BBU's and wherein said UE is connected to a first BBU using a first of said two protocol stacks for communication with said first BBU, said method comprising the steps of receiving, by a second BBU, from a network node in said telecommunication network, a Stack Selector parameter, wherein said Stack Selector parameter indicates which of said two protocol stacks are to be used by said UE for said communication with said second BBU, transmitting, by said second BBU, to said UE a downlink grant message, wherein said downlink grant message comprises said Stack Selector parameter.
