Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés, des systèmes et des dispositifs de communication sans fil. Un équipement utilisateur (UE) peut comprendre une première technologie d'accès radio (RAT) correspondant à un premier abonnement et une seconde RAT correspondant à un second abonnement. Dans certains cas, l'UE peut identifier qu'une défaillance d'une configuration de connexion du premier abonnement est due à un conflit de ressources radio avec le second abonnement. Selon l'invention, l'UE peut transmettre, à une station de base fonctionnant au moyen de la seconde RAT, une demande de détachement pour la première RAT s'il est déterminé que la défaillance était due au conflit de ressources radio avec le second abonnement. L'UE peut ensuite transmettre, à la station de base à l'aide de la seconde RAT, une demande d'attachement indiquant que le premier abonnement est capable de fonctionner à l'aide de la première RAT. L'UE peut établir, avec la station de base, une connexion à l'aide de la première RAT d'après la demande d'attachement.
