A method for wireless communications at a user equipment, UE,, comprising: detecting a radio link failure condition for a connection between the UE and a network over a first cell group; determining, in response to detecting the radio link failure condition, whether an air interface resource allocation is available for a signaling radio bearer, SRB, between the UE and the network over another cell group; and selecting, based at least in part on the determination, one of a plurality of radio link failure procedures, wherein selecting the one of the plurality of radio link failure procedures comprises: selecting a first radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network over the another cell group is not available; and performing the first radio link failure procedure, wherein the first radio link failure procedure comprises a full release of radio resources between the UE and the network; or wherein selecting the one of the plurality of radio link failure procedures comprises: selecting a second radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network is available over a second cell group; and performing the second radio link failure procedure, wherein the second radio link failure procedure comprises a partial release of radio resources between the UE and the network. detecting a radio link failure condition for a connection between the UE and a network over a first cell group; determining, in response to detecting the radio link failure condition, whether an air interface resource allocation is available for a signaling radio bearer, SRB, between the UE and the network over another cell group; and selecting, based at least in part on the determination, one of a plurality of radio link failure procedures, wherein selecting the one of the plurality of radio link failure procedures comprises: selecting a first radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network over the another cell group is not available; and performing the first radio link failure procedure, wherein the first radio link failure procedure comprises a full release of radio resources between the UE and the network; or wherein selecting the one of the plurality of radio link failure procedures comprises: selecting a second radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network is available over a second cell group; and performing the second radio link failure procedure, wherein the second radio link failure procedure comprises a partial release of radio resources between the UE and the network. selecting a first radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network over the another cell group is not available; and performing the first radio link failure procedure, wherein the first radio link failure procedure comprises a full release of radio resources between the UE and the network; or wherein selecting the one of the plurality of radio link failure procedures comprises: selecting a second radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network is available over a second cell group; and performing the second radio link failure procedure, wherein the second radio link failure procedure comprises a partial release of radio resources between the UE and the network. selecting a second radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the air interface resource allocation for the SRB between the UE and the network is available over a second cell group; and performing the second radio link failure procedure, wherein the second radio link failure procedure comprises a partial release of radio resources between the UE and the network.
