Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. A user equipment (UE) in a dual connectivity (DC) mode, comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor configured to:
control the transceiver to receive configurations from a network,
connect to a primary cell and a secondary cell based on the received configurations,
identify whether at least one release condition for releasing a connection to the secondary cell is satisfied for a first predetermined time period which is determined based on performance of the UE with the secondary cell, the at least one release condition including at least one of a first condition that a reference signal received power (RSRP) for the secondary cell is less than a first threshold, a second condition that a block error ratio (BLER) for the secondary cell is greater than a second threshold, and a third condition that a retransmission rate for the secondary cell is greater than a third threshold,
release the connection to the secondary cell based on an identification that the at least one release condition is satisfied, and
block transmission of a measurement report for the secondary cell in response to releasing the connection to the secondary cell for a second predetermined period which is determined based on performance of the UE when connected to the secondary cell.
