  • the second subscription may be a "PS+VoLTE" or a "PS+CS" subscription.
  • the VoLTE call on the first subscription may have the highest priority among all subscriptions.
  • a first network associated with the first subscription does not trigger the wireless communication device to perform a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection release. Furthermore, the wireless communication device itself does not trigger the RRC connection release according to current standards. Therefore, after the completion of the VoLTE call on the first subscription, the first subscription may remain in a connected mode.
  • RRC Radio Resource Control
  • RF resource shared between the first subscription and the second subscription is traditionally tuned away to the second subscription.
  • the first subscription may accordingly lose assignment of the RF resource while the first subscription is still in the connected mode. This leads to a Radio Link Failure (RLF) with respect to the first subscription (e.g., the first subscription enters a RLF mode).

The wireless communication device may refrain from or otherwise omit RRC establishment (or re-establishment) procedures or tracking area update for the first subscription.
  • RLF Radio Link Failure
  • the wireless communication device in response to detecting the RLF of the first subscription, sets the first subscription to be in an idle mode (e.g., a Radio Resource Control (RRC)-idle mode) instead of a connected mode (e.g., a RRC-connected mode).
  • RRC Radio Resource Control
