Methods, systems, and devices for call session management via dynamic control of dual connectivity in a network

A non-transitory machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:

• receiving data relating to a user equipment, wherein the user equipment is communicatively coupled to a first network node, wherein the first network node employs a first radio access technology, and wherein the data relating to the user equipment includes information regarding a transmit (Tx) power of the user equipment relative to a second network node;
• determining that there is an ongoing call session at the user equipment facilitated by the first network node;
• determining, according to the data relating to the user equipment and responsive to the determining that there is an ongoing call session at the user equipment facilitated by the first network node, a probability that a quality of the ongoing call session will become impaired, wherein the determining the probability that the quality of the ongoing call session will become impaired is based on the Tx power of the user equipment relative to the second network node;
• and
• controlling connectivity between the user equipment and the second network node based on the probability that the quality of the ongoing call session will become impaired, wherein the second network node employs a second radio access technology.

A method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, data relating to a user equipment, wherein the user equipment is communicatively coupled to a first network node of a network and to a second network node of the network, wherein the first network node employs a first radio access technology, wherein the second network node employs a second radio access technology, and wherein the data relating to the user equipment includes information regarding a speed of movement of the user equipment;
• determining, by the processing system, whether there is an initiation of a call session for the user equipment to be facilitated by the first network node;
• determining, by the processing system, according to the data relating to the user equipment and responsive to determining that there is an initiation of a call session for the user equipment to be facilitated by the first network node, that a probability of the call session becoming disconnected satisfies a threshold, wherein the determining that the probability of the call session becoming disconnected satisfies the threshold is based on the information regarding the speed of movement of the user equipment;
• and
• maintaining, by the processing system, connectivity between the user equipment and the second network node responsive to the determining that the probability of the call session becoming disconnected satisfies the threshold.
