Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device in a communication node for wireless communications. A communication node receives a first message, the first message indicating at least a first bearer; and as a response to receiving the first message, enters or stays in an RRC Inactive state; and receives a first signaling and a second message while transmitting data via the first bearer in the RRC Inactive state, the first signaling comprising scheduling information of a first channel, and at least the second message being transmitted on the first channel, the second message being used to trigger data transmission via a second bearer; one of the first bearer and the second bearer is an MRB while the other is a DRB; the first signaling is scrambled by a first RNTI; if the first bearer is an MRB, the first RNTI belongs to a first candidate RNTI set.

Claims (35)

1 . A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first receiver, which receives a first message, the first message indicating at least a first bearer; and as a response to receiving the first message, enters or stays in an RRC Inactive state; and receives a first signaling and a second message while transmitting data via the first bearer in the RRC Inactive state, the first signaling comprising scheduling information of a first channel, and at least the second message being transmitted on the first channel, the second message being used to trigger data transmission via a second bearer;

wherein one of the first bearer and the second bearer is an MRB while the other is a DRB; the first signaling is scrambled by a first RNTI; the first RNTI is related to the first bearer; if the first bearer is an MRB, the first RNTI is an RNTI in a first candidate RNTI set, or if the first bearer is a DRB, the first RNTI is an RNTI in a second candidate RNTI set; the first candidate RNTI set comprises at least a G-RNTI, and the second candidate RNTI set comprises at least a C-RNTI.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

a first transmitter, which transmits a third message as a response to receiving the second message, the third message being used for an RRC connection resume procedure;

the first receiver, which monitors a fourth message as a response to the third message being transmitted; and

a first processor, which resumes the second bearer along with the RRC connection resume procedure;

wherein the fourth message belongs to the RRC connection resume procedure.

3 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, which resumes the second bearer as a response to receiving the second message; the action of receiving the second message does not trigger an RRC connection resume procedure.

4 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises a first identity of the first node, where the first identity of the first node is unique in at least one cell; the first bearer is an MRB, and the first RNTI is an RNTI in the first candidate RNTI set.

5 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises a second identity, the second identity being used to indicate a first MBS session, the first node being joined in the first MBS session; the first bearer is a DRB, and the first RNTI is an RNTI in the second candidate RNTI set.

6 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second message indicates that data is to be transmitted via the second bearer in the RRC Inactive state.

7 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second message indicates that data is to be transmitted via the second bearer in the RRC Connected state.

8 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first message indicates at least one first-type DRB, and the first message does not indicate any first-type MRB; the first bearer is any first-type DRB of the at least one first-type DRB.

9 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first message indicates at least one first-type MRB, and the first message does not indicate any first-type DRB; the first bearer is any first-type MRB of the at least one first-type MRB.

10 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first message indicates at least one first-type DRB, and the first message indicates at least one first-type MRB; the first bearer is any first-type DRB of the at least one first-type DRB, and the second bearer is any first-type MRB of the at least one first-type MRB.

11 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first message indicates at least one first-type DRB, and the first message indicates at least one first-type MRB; the first bearer is any first-type MRB of the at least one first-type MRB, and the second bearer is any first-type DRB of the at least one first-type DRB.

12 . The first node according to claim 8 , wherein the first-type DRB is a DRB that can be used for SDT; or the first-type DRB is a DRB that can be used for MT-SDT; or the first-type DRB is a DRB that can be used for MO-SDT.

13 . The first node according to claim 8 , wherein the first-type MRB is an MRB that can be used for receiving MBS in the RRC Inactive state.

14 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein transmitting data via the first bearer in the RRC Inactive state belongs to a first RRC update procedure; the first RRC update procedure comprises: transmitting a first target message, the first target message being transmitted through a CCCH.

15 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein along with the first target message, resuming the first bearer; or, the first RRC update procedure comprises: receiving a second target message; and along with the second target message, resuming the first bearer; or, as a response to receiving a first paging message, resuming the first bearer.

16 . The first node according to claim 15 , wherein the first paging message comprises a first identity of the first node; or, the first paging message comprises a TMGI, the first node being joined in one or more MBS sessions identified by the TMGI.

17 . The first node according to claim 15 , wherein during a time interval between receiving the first paging message and resuming the first bearer, the first node does not transmit an RRC message transmitted through a CCCH.

18 . A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

a second transmitter, which transmits a first message, the first message indicating at least a first bearer; and transmits a first signaling and a second message, the first signaling comprising scheduling information of a first channel, and at least the second message being transmitted on the first channel, the second message being used to trigger data transmission via a second bearer;

wherein as a response to the first message being received, a receiver receiving the first message enters or stays in an RRC Inactive state; the first signaling and the second message are received by the receiver receiving the first message while transmitting data via the first bearer in the RRC Inactive state; one of the first bearer and the second bearer is an MRB while the other is a DRB; the first signaling is scrambled by a first RNTI; the first RNTI is related to the first bearer; if the first bearer is an MRB, the first RNTI is an RNTI in a first candidate RNTI set, or if the first bearer is a DRB, the first RNTI is an RNTI in a second candidate RNTI set; the first candidate RNTI set comprises at least a G-RNTI, and the second candidate RNTI set comprises at least a C-RNTI.
