Flexible Counters for NR NSA; used in eNodeB
— A new filter parameter ENDC is defined for NR NSA, with
three (minimum) levels:
— 0 = Counter stepped if the UE is capable of EN-DC
— 1 = Counter stepped if the UE’s EN-DC capability matches the
eNodeB configuration (some LTE + NR frequency band
combination supported by both cell and UE)
— 2 = Counter stepped if the UE has user plane through gNodeB,

— The included levels are set by the parameter endcFilterMin
