  • Publication number: 20230284071
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for enhancing reliability of voice over new radio (VONR) in dual connectivity (DC) by duplicating quality of service (QoS) flow using motion metrics measured at the user equipment (UE). At a high level, the UE may detect a motion metric, such as rotation or displacement, and determine whether the detected motion metric exceeds a threshold. When the motion metric exceeds the threshold, the UE requests the network to duplicate the QoS flow in response to the determination.
