Facilitation of power retention for 5g or other next generation network non-standalone devices

Abstract

Power retention for 5G non-standalone devices can be accomplished via a process that comprises specific message data being sent to a mobile device. For example, although a mobile device can enable its new radio in response to communicating with a network cell that does not comprise a new radio functionality, a message can be sent to the mobile device to prevent the mobile device from enabling its new radio. Therefore, the mobile device can retain battery power simultaneously.
