A first method includes transmitting, to a network, an indication of a capability to operate in an uplink aggregation dual connectivity mode or in a fast switching dual connectivity mode; and receiving, from the network, a dual connectivity configuration for the UE based at least in part on the indication of the capability. A second method includes communicating with a first network access device; transmitting, to a second network access device, a request to perform fast switching from the first network access device to the second network access device; receiving, from the second network access device, a dual connectivity configuration for communicating with the second network access device; and communicating with the second network access device based at least in part on the dual connectivity configuration.
