The determining that the first communications path is not appropriate for use by the communications device comprises detecting, from the measurement of radio conditions, radio link failure on the first communications path. A method according to a second example embodiment of the present disclosure comprising establishing a first measurement of radio conditions associated with a first communications path between the communications device and the infrastructure equipment of the first type, the first measurement of radio conditions comprising a quality of the first communications path, determining that the quality of the first communications path is below a first predetermined threshold, initiating a timer, the timer being configured to expir

A method includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), to use a first radio access technology, and triggering, by the UE, a first event to disable a second radio access technology while the UE currently uses the second radio access technology. The first event indicates that a base station fails to configure a secondary cell or instructs the base station to delete a configured secondary cell. The secondary cell is a secondary cell of the second radio access technology on the unlicensed spectrum.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a master node (MN) may determine to reconfigure a user equipment (UE) from an existing configuration to a full configuration for a dual connectivity (DC) mode. To perform the reconfiguration, the MN may transmit a signal (e.g., a modification request message) indicating the full configuration to a secondary node (SN). The SN may identify the full configuration reconfiguration triggered at the MN based on the signal. The SN may transmit an acknowledgment message to the MN including a secondary cell group (SCG) configuration for the SN complying with the full configuration. The MN may indicate this SCG configuration as part of the full configuration to the UE (e.g., in a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message). The UE may perform a reconfiguration process and communicate with the MN and the SN according to the full configuration.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system information reception method applied to user equipment. The method includes: determining a cell corresponding to system information to be obtained; transmitting a request message to a base station for requesting the system information of the cell, where the request message includes indication information of the cell; and receiving the system information of the cell transmitted by the base station.
