Methods and apparatus are disclosed, including in an example a method performed by a wireless device configured with Multi-Radio Access Technology Dual Connectivity (MR-DC). The method comprises receiving, from a first network node, at least one message in a reconfiguration procedure for a first cell group. The at least one message indicates a mode of operation of the wireless device for a second cell group by the wireless device.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for controlling the power consumption of a terminal, and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a temperature of the terminal; and in response to the temperature being greater than a first temperature threshold, controlling the terminal to switch from a dual-connection mode to a single-connection mode based on a power consumption adjustment strategy; wherein the terminal supports the dual-connection mode; the terminal is configured to communicate with a first base station and to communicate with a second base station in the dual connection mode; the first base station is a primary base station, and the second base station is a secondary base station.

Methods and systems are disclosed for a UE of a wireless communication network to recover from MCG radio link failures in a MR-DC system when the SCG is deactivated or otherwise not enabled. When a MCG link failure is detected and the SCG is deactivated, the UE may activate the SCG for the UE to use the SCG link to transmit and receive signaling messages or data as part of the MCG failure recovery procedure. When the MCG link failure is detected and the UE is configured to add the SCG upon the satisfaction of certain condition, but the condition has not occurred, the UE may check to determine whether one condition is MCG failure and whether the radio link quality of the SCG exceeds a threshold. If the radio link quality of the SCG exceeds the threshold, the UE may apply the SCG configuration to add the SCG.

Disclosed in the present application is a network connection method, a terminal device, and a network device, the method comprising: when a request for tracking area updating from a terminal device to a network device fails, the terminal device sends a cell re-registration request message to the network device, said terminal device supporting a dual connection mode and establishing a connection with the network device by means of a first network, and said cell re-registration request message being used for the network device to learn the ability of the terminal device to connect to a second network; and the terminal device receives a network connection mode configured by the network device.

Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for communicating in a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. A user equipment (UE) can receive, from a first base station using the first RAT, first configuration information for the UE to communicate with a second base station via the second RAT; and receive, from the first base station using the first RAT, a downlink message to enable a communication link between the UE and the second base station via the second RAT. The downlink message includes second configuration information for the UE to communicate with the second base station via the second RAT. The UE can establish the communication link between the UE and the second base station using the second RAT based on a link configuration obtained from the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

Disclosed in the present application is a measurement reporting method. The method comprises: a terminal device receives a measurement request message transmitted by a network device under the condition that the terminal device accesses a first network, the measurement request message being used for requesting the terminal device to measure a second network; the terminal device does not report the measurement result of the second network to the network device, wherein the terminal device supports a dual-connection mode. Also disclosed in the present application are another measurement reporting method, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

Embodiments of the present application provide a method for controlling a network connection, a terminal and a non-transitory storage medium. The method includes: detecting a state of a terminal, where the terminal is configured to communicate with both of a first base station and a second base station in the dual connectivity mode and the state of the terminal represents a connection status between the terminal and a network where the first base station locates; and prohibiting the terminal from connecting with the second base station in response to the state of the terminal representing the terminal is in an idle state and the terminal having been in the idle state for a predetermined time.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for controlling the power consumption of a terminal, and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a temperature of the terminal; and in response to the temperature being greater than a first temperature threshold, controlling the terminal to switch from a dual-connection mode to a single-connection mode based on a power consumption adjustment strategy; wherein the terminal supports the dual-connection mode; the terminal is configured to communicate with a first base station and to communicate with a second base station in the dual connection mode; the first base station is a primary base station, and the second base station is a secondary base station.

The present disclosure discloses a measurement reporting method. The method includes: transmitting, by a terminal device while the terminal device has access to both a first network and a second network, Secondary Cell Group (SCG) failure information to a network device, the SCG failure information including no measurement result for the second network; and establishing, by the terminal device, a connection with the network device via the first network, without reporting any measurement result for the second network to the network device. The present disclosure also discloses another measurement reporting method, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

Described are a method for controlling the power consumption of a terminal, and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining a power consumption rate of the terminal; and in response to the power consumption rate being greater than a power consumption rate threshold, controlling the terminal to disable a dual-connection mode thereof based on a power consumption adjustment strategy; wherein the terminal supports the dual-connection mode; the terminal is configured to communicate with communicates with a first base station and a second base station in the dual-connection mode; the first base station is a primary base station, and the second base station is a secondary base station.
