Abstract
A method and system for controlling uplink-path switching of a user equipment device (UE) when the UE has at least two co-existing air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node, and where one of the first and second air-interface connections defines a primary uplink path of the UE. An example method includes (i) predicting that the UE's second air-interface connection will be lost and (ii) responsive to at least the predicting that the UE's second air-interface connection will be lost, but before the predicted loss occurs, forgoing application of at least a portion of an uplink-path-switch control process for dynamically controlling whether to reconfigure the UE from having the first air-interface connection be set as the UE's primary uplink path to having the second air-interface connection be set as the UE's primary uplink path.
