A simultaneous client wireless device includes wireless modules configured to perform communication functions of a PHY (physical) layer for wireless radios operable in different bands. The simultaneous client wireless device also includes a communication module configured as an intermediate layer between the PHY layer of the wireless modules and a network layer. The communication module is configured to use an application programming interface to retrieve information from the PHY layer and write information to the PHY layer of the wireless modules, perform communication functions of upper MAC (media access control) and lower MAC layers for the wireless bands, and manage simultaneous communications over the wireless bands.

A master RAN node (1) sends, to a control plane function (5) in a core network (4), a modification request for modification of a first PDU session already established between a radio terminal (3) and a user plane function (6) in the core network (4). The modification request implicitly or explicitly indicates that PDU session split is needed for the first PDU session. The modification request causes the control plane function (5) to control the user plane function (6) to move a specific one or more QoS flows of a plurality of QoS flows associated with the first PDU session from a first tunnel between the user plane function (6) and the master RAN node (1) to a second tunnel between the user plane function (6) and a secondary RAN node (2).
