Provided is a method for managing synchronization with a network. The method includes detecting, by a dual SIM dual standby user equipment (a DSDS UE), a radio frequency resume event (an RF resume event); transmitting, by the DSDS UE, at least one uplink dedicated physical control channel (at least one UL-DPCCH) to the network in response to the RF resume event being detected, wherein the at least one UL-DPCCH is transmitted irrespective of a signal to interference ratio quality (an SIR quality) on a downlink dedicated physical control channel (a DL-DPCCH) of the network being below a first quality threshold; and managing, by the DSDS UE, a downlink (a DL) synchronization with the network.
