The method includes triggering the SR procedure and determining a transmission failure of the SR or a control plane service request message in response to triggering the SR procedure. Further, the method includes determining whether the SR procedure is triggered for a reason comprising one of requesting the wireless network to release a NAS signaling connection, and rejecting a paging request from the wireless network, or requesting the wireless network to release the NAS signaling connection. Further, the method includes performing one of aborting the SR procedure triggered due to the reason in response to determining the transmission failure, or re-triggering the SR procedure triggered not due to the reason in response to determining the transmission failure.

Embodiments herein provide a method for performing voice call performance by a user equipment (UE). A voice call is preferred for a cellular network over a Wi-Fi network, an IMS is registered over a 5G BS, the 5G BS is not supported for the voice call, and a Wi-Fi device and a 4G BS are supported for the voice call. The method includes: detecting an event related to the voice call; comparing signal strength of the Wi-Fi device and signal strength of the 4G BS; shifting an IMS registration from the 5G BS to the Wi-Fi device, upon determining that the signal strength of the Wi-Fi device is greater than the signal strength of the 4G BS; and initiating the voice call over the Wi-Fi device upon detecting a trigger for the voice call.

Embodiments herein disclose UE based implementations to manage voice/video over new radio (VoNR)/EPSFB calls. In an embodiment, there can be a zero CQI reporting for indicating a signal deterioration during the VoNR call. In an embodiment, at least one of a Wi-Fi network or a dual SIM dual standby (DSDS) feature, a UE initiated fallback procedure and an internet bearer can be used for continuing the VoNR call. Various embodiments may reduce the call failures and manage calls on VoNR/5G which can be useful to the UE in volatile signal conditions.
