Dual Connectivity

Dual Connectivity

Refers to a technology in LTE and 5G, where a UE can connect to two different network nodes (eNodeB or gNodeB). This allows the UE to use resources from both nodes concurrently.
In practice, dual connectivity typically involves the UE receiving data over LTE from primary eNodeB and additional data over LTE or 5G NR from secondary node. Essential for a smooth migration from 4G to 5G.

Improves overall data throughput.
