Claim 6:
7. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
receive, from a user equipment, a measurement report;
determine that a slave radio-resource-control (RRC) is to be initiated, wherein the slave RRC is performed by a second access point; and
transmit, to the second access point, a request message to initiate the slave RRC at the second access point, the request message including a user equipment capability of the user equipment and a measurement report;
receive, from the second access point, a response message in response to the request message, the response message including a slave RRC configuration related with the slave RRC; and
