Abstract
A user device capable of operating in dual-mode connectivity with a master node and a secondary node detects a low-power condition of a battery of the UE. In response, the user device prevents the UE from operating in DC with the SN, so that the UE and the MN are configured to operate in single connectivity.

1-18. (canceled)
A method in a user device (UE) capable of operating in dual-mode connectivity (DC) with a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN), the method comprising:
- detecting, by processing hardware, that a power-saving feature of the UE has been activated;
- and
- in response to detecting that the power-saving feature has been activated:
- preventing, by the processing hardware, the UE from operating in DC with the SN, so that the UE and the MN are configured to operate in single connectivity.

A UE capable of operating in dual-mode connectivity (DC) with a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN), the UE comprising:
- a battery;
- a controller;
- and
- a memory coupled to the controller and configured to store computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the controller, cause the controller to:
- detect that a power-saving feature of the UE has been activated;
- and
- in response to detecting that the power-saving feature has been activated, prevent the UE from operating in DC with the SN, so that the UE and the MN are configured to operate in single connectivity.
