Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
means for establishing a first connection with a first cell using a first radio access technology (RAT);
means for receiving a first request message to add a second connection with a second cell using a second RAT different from the first RAT;
means for determining to perform data transfer via the first connection using the first RAT based at least in part on data traffic information for the UE;
means for delaying establishing the second connection with the second cell using the second RAT for at least a time duration based at least in part on determining to perform the data transfer via the first connection using the first RAT wherein means for delaying establishing the second connection includes:
means for transmitting, in response to the first request message, a failure message indicating a failure to add the second connection with the second cell using the second RAT;

means for receiving one or more second request messages to add the second connection with the second cell using the second RAT based at least in part on the failure message;
means for establishing, after the time duration, the second connection with the second RAT; and
means for operating in a dual connectivity mode for the first RAT and the second RAT based at least in part on the data traffic information, the established first connection, and the established second connection.
