9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon for wireless communication, implemented at a terminal, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:

instructions for receiving a first message comprising an indication of pre-configured dedicated resources for a communication between a network device and the terminal, wherein the first message is received by the terminal in an established radio resource control (RRC) connection, and wherein the pre-configured dedicated resources comprise a pre-configured physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource;

instructions for performing, in an idle mode and on the pre-configured PUSCH resource, a PUSCH transmission carrying signaling radio bearers (SRBs) or data radio bearers (DRBs); and

instructions for monitoring, subsequent to the performing the PUSCH transmission, a downlink control information (DCI) scrambled with a terminal-specific radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium further comprises:

instructions for monitoring, upon completion of the performing the PUSCH transmission, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a terminal-specific search space in the idle mode (USS_IDLE).

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium further comprises:

instructions for successfully completing a terminal identification; and

instructions for switching to a state specified by the network device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the PUSCH transmission comprises at least one of following: a dedicated non-access stratum (NAS) protocol data unit (PDU) information, a user-level data PDU, an RRC message, or a MAC CE.

13. A method for wireless communication, implemented at a network device, comprising:

transmitting a first message comprising an indication of pre-configured dedicated resources for a communication between the network device and a terminal, wherein the first message is transmitted to the terminal in an established radio resource control (RRC) connection, and wherein the pre-configured dedicated resources comprise a pre-configured physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource;

receiving, from the terminal in an idle mode and on the pre-configured PUSCH resource, a PUSCH transmission carrying signaling radio bearers (SRBs) or data radio bearers (DRBs); and
