Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing system including at least one processor, cause the processing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
monitoring a status of a long term evolution network connection and a status of a fifth generation network connection over which a user endpoint device is simultaneously receiving data using an evolved-universal terrestrial radio access new radio dual connectivity configuration;
detecting, based on the monitoring, that a performance metric of one of: the long term evolution network or the fifth generation network falls below a predefined threshold metric;
terminating, in response to the detecting, the long term evolution network connection or the fifth generation network connection to terminate the evolved-universal terrestrial radio access new radio dual connectivity configuration, wherein the terminating comprises terminating a connection to the one of: the long term evolution network or the fifth generation network for which the performance metric was determined to fall below the predefined threshold metric; and
reevaluating, subsequent to the terminating, a performance of the one of: the long term evolution network or the fifth generation network for which the performance metric was determined to fall below the predefined threshold metric, wherein the reevaluating is performed randomly subsequent to the terminating.
