5G NSA - NR to NR Handover

Hi Guys,
In 5G NSA, NR to NR handover means LTE MCG releases 1 SCG and adds another SCG right?
Or is there a defined handover process through LTE MCG?

Yes, NR to NR handover is SCH release and addition.

While keeping LTE cell unchanged.
When changing LTE cell, NR is automatically released.

Yes, agreed.

Yes. In NSA there is no Handover between NR. There is SCG1 removal and SCG2 add.

Handover is the process of changing the PCell (in case of DC, the PCell of the MCG)

Hi Experts,
One doubt to understand nr to nr ho in nsa.
This sgnb add request is like x2 from enodeb to that target gnodeb?
And if that endc from my enodeb to that target gnodeb not defined and x2 defined will handover happen?
In access mode it won’t?
As i am trying to understand nr nsa.

Dual Connectivity cannot be kept during inter en-gNB mobility if X2 relation not defined with target gNB.
SgNB declare an RLF on the PSCell if there is no suitable gNB.

Any one has tested NSA to NSA handover?

There is no HO in NSA to NSA, it’s addition and release procedure.
