Abstract

The present application provides a method and device for wireless communications. A first node receives a first signaling, the first signaling is used to activate a first scheduling, or the first signaling is used to de-activate a first scheduling; a first processor, as a response to receiving the first signaling, executes a first action, the first action is related to a current RRC state; wherein the phrase of the first action being related to a current RRC state comprises: for RRC_CONNECTED State and RRC_INACTIVE State, only when the current RRC state is RRC_CONNECTED State, the first action comprises transmitting a first HARQ-ACK on a first time-frequency resource block; the first scheduling is executed after being activated and before being deactivated. The present application can effectively support data transmission in RRC_INACTIVE State.

Claims (38)

1 . A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein when the current RRC state is RRC_INACTIVE State, the first action comprises transmitting first information on a second time-frequency resource block, there at least exists one RE not belonging to the first time-frequency resource block and a second time-frequency resource block at the same time.

3 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein the first information is a HARQ-ACK.

4 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein a transport channel occupied by the first information comprises an Uplink Shared Channel (UL-SCH).
