Detecting and preventing ping-pong events

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

• detecting a ping-pong event between a first standalone (SA) network and a second SA network;
• modifying at least one of an offset or a priority associated with the first SA network based at least in part on the ping-pong event;
• measuring, periodically, one or more reference signals from the first SA network;
• and
• reconnecting to the first SA network based at least in part on the one or more reference signals satisfying at least one condition.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• detect a ping-pong event between a non-standalone (NSA) New Radio (NR) network and a standalone (SA) legacy network;
• transmit, to the SA legacy network, an indication of radio link failure (RLF) with the NSA NR network, based at least in part on the ping-pong event and one or more indicators of channel quality with the NSA NR network;
• measure, periodically, one or more reference signals from the NSA NR network;
• and
• reconnect to the NSA NR network based at least in part on the one or more reference signals satisfying at least one condition.
