 RLF is declared separately for the MCG and for the SCG
 If radio link failure is detected for MCG, the UE initiates the RRC connection re-
establishment procedure
The following SCG failure cases are supported:
– SCG RLF;

– SN change failure;

– For EN-DC, NGEN-DC and NR-DC, SCG configuration failure (only for messages on SRB3);
– For EN-DC, NGEN-DC and NR-DC, SCG RRC integrity check failure (on SRB3).

 Upon SCG failure the UE suspends SCG transmissions for all radio bearers and reports
the SCG Failure Information to the MN, instead of triggering re-establishment.
 In all SCG failure cases, the UE maintains the current measurement configurations from
both the MN and the SN and the UE continues measurements based on the configuration
from the MN and the SN if possible. The SN measurements configured to be routed via the
MN will continue to be reported after the SCG failure
 The UE includes in the SCG Failure Information message the measurement results
available according to the current measurement configuration of both the MN and the SN.
The MN handles the SCG Failure Information message and may decide to keep, change, or
release the SN/SCG. In all the cases, the measurement results according to the SN
configuration and the SCG failure type may be forwarded to the old SN and/or to the new
SN.

SCG failure information

SCGfailureInformation
 The purpose of this procedure is to inform E-UTRAN or NR MN about an SCG failure
the UE has experienced i.e.
 SCG radio link failure, failure of SCG reconfiguration with sync, SCG configuration
failure for RRC message on SRB3 and SCG integrity check failure
 How we can identify SCGFailureInformation from 3GPP specs

SCGFailureInformation

The SCGFailureInformation message is used to provide information regarding NR SCG failures

detected by the UE.

Signalling radio bearer: SRB1

RLC-SAP: AM

RLC-Config
The IE RLC-Config is used to specify the RLC configuration of SRBs and DRBs.

 srb3-IntegrityFailure
UE initiates transmission of the SCGFailureInformationNR message due to SRB3 integrity
check failure

 scg-reconfigFailure
UE initiates transmission of the SCGFailureInformationNR message due to Reconfiguration
failure of NR RRC reconfiguration message.

During the SCG failure , UE also report the available measurement result under
I(measResultFreqListNR-r15 and measResultSCG
