Reestablishment hack: free reconfigurationWithSync
After handover, the last CellGroupConfig received is the one for handover, containing a reconfigurationWithSync. Resending this CellGroupConfig to the UE after reestablishment would trigger a handover. Free the reconfigurationWithSync to have the UE complete reestablishment at the current cell. The CU implementation of reestablishment modifies the CellGroupConfig. It should not do this, but does as of now. The specification (38.473 Sec 8.7) foresees an optional F1 UE context modification procedure (which can be used to receive the CellGroupConfig). This should be done instead to retrieve the correct CellGroupConfig. Note that the F1 UE context setup procedure, similar to the UE context modification procedure, would also allow to perform reestablishment on a DU that is not the original one.
