5G radio management based on thermal, battery, or transmit power considerations

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the one or more processors to:
• determine that a thermal condition is satisfied with regard to the UE,
• wherein the UE is associated with a 4G/Long Term Evolution (4G/LTE) connection and a 5G/New Radio (5G/NR) connection;
• determine whether the 5G/NR connection is to be activated or deactivated based on the thermal condition;
• transmit a tracking area update request based on determining that the thermal condition is satisfied;
• transmit capability information,
• wherein, when the 5G/NR connection is to be activated, the capability information indicates a 5G/NR capability of the UE, and
• wherein, when the 5G/NR connection is to be deactivated, the capability information does not indicate the 5G/NR capability of the UE;
• and
• deactivate or activate a 5G/NR modem of the UE based on determining that the thermal condition is satisfied.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• determining that a thermal condition is satisfied with regard to the UE,
• wherein the UE is associated with a 4G/Long Term Evolution (4G/LTE) connection and a 5G/New Radio (5G/NR) connection;
• determining whether the 5G/NR connection is to be activated or deactivated based on the thermal condition;
• transmitting a tracking area update request based on determining that the thermal condition is satisfied;
• transmitting capability information,
• wherein, when the 5G/NR connection is to be activated, the capability information indicates a 5G/NR capability of the UE, and
• wherein, when the 5G/NR connection is to be deactivated, the capability information does not indicate the 5G/NR capability of the UE;
• and
• deactivating or activating a 5G/NR modem of the UE based on determining that the thermal condition is satisfied.
