Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for bearer count alignment during handover of a user equipment (UE) from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT. The UE establishes radio resource control (RRC) connections with the second RAT and transmits data radio bearer (DRB) capability of the UE to the second network. The second network utilizes this information to set up the DRBs with the UE.
