Abstract

The present invention provides user equipment and a pre-configured uplink resource transmission method performed thereby. The pre-configured uplink resource transmission method performed by user equipment comprises the following steps: when upper layer data arrives at an access stratum of the UE, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer triggering an RRC procedure to confirm whether a condition for pre-configured uplink resource transmission is met, and if so, performing, by the RRC layer, an operation of pre-configured uplink resource data transmission; and when using a pre-configured uplink resource transmission mode, a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer verifying whether a pre-configured uplink resource is available, and if not, performing, by the UE, fallback to a data transmission mode in which pre-configured uplink resource data transmission is not used, so as to transmit the uplink data.

Claims (2)

1. A control method in a User Equipment (UE), comprising: initiating transmission of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection resume request message in response to determining that the UE is resuming an RRC connection, wherein the UE uses a pre-configured uplink resource (PUR) to transmit uplink data; deriving security keys; and performing the following actions in response to determining that (i) a cell reselection has occurred, (ii) a timer T300 has been running, and (iii) the UE has not received a corresponding response message after transmitting the RRC connection resume request message: resetting a Medium Access Control (MAC); deleting the derived security keys; re-establishing Radio Link Control (RLC) entities for at least one Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) and at least one Data Radio Bearer (DRB); suspending the at least one SRB and the at least one DRB except a first SRB (SRB0); configuring lower layers to suspend an integrity protection and a ciphering function; and informing upper layers about a failure to establish the RRC connection or failure to resume the RRC connection with a suspend indication.

2. A User Equipment (UE), comprising: a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: initiate transmission of a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection resume request message in response to determining that the UE is resuming an RRC connection, wherein the UE uses a pre-configured uplink resource (PUR) to transmit uplink data; derive security keys; and perform following actions in response to determining that (i) a cell reselection has occurred, (ii) a timer T300 has been running, and (iii) the UE has not received a corresponding response message after transmitting the RRC connection resume request message: reset a Medium Access Control (MAC); delete the derived security keys; re-establish Radio Link Control (RLC) entities for at least one Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) and at least one Data Radio Bearer (DRB); suspend the at least one SRB and the at least one DRB except a first SRB (SRB0); configure lower layers to suspend an integrity protection and a ciphering function; and inform upper layers about a failure to establish the RRC connection or failure to resume the RRC connection with a suspend indication.
