Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
establish a first connection with a first cell using a first radio access technology (RAT);
receive a first request message to add a second connection with a second cell using a second RAT different from the first RAT;
determine to perform data transfer via the first connection using the first RAT based at least in part on data traffic information for the UE;
delay 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 delaying establishing the second connection includes:
transmit, 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;

receive 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;
establish, after the time duration, the second connection with the second RAT; and
operate 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.
