Method to fast recover UE from PS call failure in 5G NSA

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for determining whether a total number of Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer deactivation requests received from a base station of a fifth generation (5G) non-standalone (NSA) network during a time period exceeds a maximum counter value;
• and
• means for disabling 5G data calls on the UE in response to determining that the total number of EPS bearer deactivation requests received from the base station of the 5G NSA network during the time period exceeds the maximum counter value.

A non-transitory processor readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor of a user equipment (UE) to perform operations comprising:

• determining whether a total number of Evolved Packet System (EPS) bearer deactivation requests received from a base station of a fifth generation (5G) non-standalone (NSA) network during a time period exceeds a maximum counter value;
• and
• disabling 5G data calls on the UE in response to determining that the total number of EPS bearer deactivation requests received from the base station of the 5G NSA network during the time period exceeds the maximum counter value.
