1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first access point at a second access point, bearer identity information, said bearer identity information comprising an indication of at least one identity value associated with a respective first bearer of a user device, the user device capable of operating using dual connectivity mode;
allocating, in dependence on the bearer identity information, an identity value associated with a second bearer for operating in dual connectivity with the user device, wherein data carried on the second bearer is split at the second access point; and
using the allocated identity value to configure the user device with the second bearer via the first access point.
