1. A method of managing a reordering timer performed by a processor of a wireless device, comprising:
receiving packets from a communication network and storing the packets in a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) reordering buffer of the wireless device;
detecting one or more conditions that affect an amount of time required to reorder or reassemble at least some of the packets received from the communication network, the detected one or more conditions including a characteristic of at least one or more of:
a tune-away of a radio frequency resource of the wireless device from a first subscription to a second subscription;
a characteristic of beam refinement operations performed by the wireless device; or
a characteristic of discontinuous reception configurations of the wireless device;
determining a timer adjustment based on the detected one or more conditions;
adjusting a timer with the determined timer adjustment; and
delivering one or more packets from the PDCP reordering buffer in response to expiration of the adjusted timer.
