Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure a method for dynamic steering across non-standalone and standalone network architectures based on uplink throughput requirements is provided. The method begins with determining if at least one UE is active on an SA layer. A determination is then made whether the UE has only non-guaranteed bit rate data bearers with no voice and delay sensitive bearers. The uplink buffer threshold for the at least one UE is then compared with an operator defined uplink buffer threshold. Next, a comparison is made with an uplink throughput estimate on the SA and an uplink throughput estimate for the at least one UE on an NSA layer is made. If the NSA layer has a higher uplink throughput estimate than the SA layer, a dynamic handover is performed from the SA layer to the NSA layer.
