Abstract

A user equipment (UE), or other network component can operate to configure a plurality of new radio (NR) links of a E-UTRAN new radio (NR) dual connectivity (EN-DC) comprising a first radio access technologies (RAT) and a second, different RAT. A first link quality metric (LQM) evaluation of the first RAT is generated independently of generating a second LQM evaluation of the second RAT. A radio frequency (RF) interface, is configured to provide, to RF circuitry, data for a transmission of the first LQM evaluation and the second LQM evaluation based on a data split at a protocol layer so that a network component of base station can utilize the data to configure a data flow over the links based on link quality metrics provided.
