The transmission of CP messages is triggered when certain conditions are met, such as the content or type of the message, the type of radio bearer used, the transmission cause, or the type of core network associated with the message. This method aims to improve the efficiency of transmitting CP messages in a radio architecture that combines two different RATs.

The second cell (, ) uses a RAT different from that of the first cell, and is used in addition and subordinate to the first cell. The predetermined condition relates to at least one of: (a) a content or type of the CP message; (b) a type of a signalling radio bearer used to transmit the CP message; (c) a transmission cause of the CP message; and (d) a type of a core network associated with the NAS message.
