Radio network node, a user equipment and methods therein
First Claim
1. A method, in a radio network node, for handling of changing a primary cell from a first cell to a second cell during re-selection of the primary cell of a user equipment, wherein the radio network node is configured to serve the first cell, wherein the user equipment is located within the first cell and served by the radio network node, wherein the radio network node and the user equipment are comprised in a communications system, the method comprising:
- when the radio network node knows that the user equipment is synchronized with the second cell, transmitting an RRCConnectionReconfiguration signal to the user equipment, the RRCConnectionReconfiguration signal comprising an indication that the user equipment does not need to perform a random access procedure for the second cell when changing the primary cell from the first cell to the second cell.

Abstract
A radio network node (RNN) (202) and a method therein, for handling of changing primary cell from a first cell (204) to a second cell (206) during re-selection of primary cell of a user equipment (UE) (208). The RNN is configured to serve the first cell, the UE is located within the first cell and is served by the RNN, and RNN and the UE are comprised in a communications system (200). The RNN transmits an RRCConnectionReconfiguration signal to the UE, which signal comprises an indication that the UE does not need to perform a random access procedure for the second cell when changing primary cell from the first cell to the second cell.
