Network-to-network redirection and ping-pong improvements

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

• attempting establishment of a radio resource control (RRC) connection using a second radio access technology (RAT) in association with performing a redirection from a first RAT to the second RAT;
• detecting that a timer associated with establishing the RRC connection has expired without the RRC connection being established;
• and
• triggering a reselection or redirection from the second RAT to the first RAT based at least in part on the timer expiring without the RRC connection being established.

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

• triggering a random access channel (RACH) procedure after establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection using a second radio access technology (RAT) in association with performing a redirection from a first RAT to the second RAT;
• detecting a failure of the RACH procedure;
• and
• triggering an RRC connection release and a reselection or redirection from the second RAT to the first RAT based at least in part on detecting the failure of the RACH procedure.

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

• selectively providing a measurement report based at least in part on a trigger to provide the measurement report associated with a redirection from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT, wherein the trigger is a reference signal metric associated with the second RAT satisfying a threshold associated with the reference signal metric, the threshold being configured by a base station;
• detecting a failure associated with performing the redirection from the first RAT to the second RAT;
• and
• triggering a reselection or redirection from the second RAT to the first RAT based at least in part on detecting the failure.
