A method for managing bearer configuration of a User Equipment, UE, with Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network-New Radio-Dual Connectivity, E-UTRAN-NR-DC, EN-DC, capability, the method comprising: detecting, by the UE, an interruption of an ongoing data session due to occurrence of at least one connectivity issue in at least one interface associated with a Fifth Generation, 5G, network of the UE; determining, by the UE, a bearer configuration of the UE; and based on determining that the bearer configuration is one of a Master Cell Group, MCG, split bearer and a Secondary Cell Group, SCG, split bearer, signaling, by the UE, that the at least one connectivity issue is detected in the UE to a Fourth Generation, 4G, network to which the UE is connected; and characterized by: periodically performing, by the UE, 5G signal measurements, wherein the 5G measurements are performed with a periodicity of a first predefined time period; detecting whether the at least one connectivity issue continues to persist after the expiration of the first predefined time period, wherein persistence of the at least one connectivity issue is detected by at least one of the UE and the 4G network; determining, by the UE, a count of failed attempts to connect to the 5G network if the at least one connectivity issue continues to persist after the expiration of the first predefined time period, wherein the count is incremented if the at least one connectivity issue continues to persist; determining, by the UE, that the count is greater than a predefined threshold number of failed attempts; and performing, by the UE, at least one of: requesting the 4G network to prevent adding SCG bearers in a current MCG Radio Resource Control, RRC, session; requesting the 4G network to disable the SCG bearers; and sending a first Tracking Area Update, TAU, to the 4G network after releasing the current MCG RRC session if there is no ongoing transfer of priority data through the MCG bearers, wherein the first TAU indicates disabling of NR capability of the UE, and wherein the recovery of the ongoing data session is initiated in a new MCG RRC session. detecting, by the UE, an interruption of an ongoing data session due to occurrence of at least one connectivity issue in at least one interface associated with a Fifth Generation, 5G, network of the UE;
