Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method executed by a first node in a wireless communication system is provided. The method may include: establishing a bearer for transmitting a first message; and receiving, from a second node, related information about transmission of the first message. The first message is sent by a user equipment (UE) in an idle mode or an inactive state to the second node via the bearer.

Claims (39)

1. A method executed by a first node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating, first configuration information of a radio bearer for transmitting a first message by a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state;

transmitting, to the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) release message including the first configuration information; and

receiving, from the UE in the inactive state, the first message comprising an LTE positioning protocol (LPP) message,

wherein the first configuration information is associated with a small data transmission (SDT).

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a random access resource configuration.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to a second node, a UE context setup request to establish a radio bearer supporting transmission of the first message.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the UE context setup request includes a signaling radio bearer (SRB) identifier (ID) and information associated with a radio link control (RLC) bearer.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to a second node, a release command message indicating to store configurations associated with the SDT.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a second node, an initial uplink (UL) RRC message including information indicating the UE is accessing for the transmission of the first message.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving, from a third node, a second message for requesting a UE context including information for requesting transmission of the first message.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the third node, a third message including configuration of the radio bearer for transmitting the first message and information on configuration of a radio link control (RLC) bearer.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the radio bearer for transmitting the first message comprises a signaling radio bearer 2 (SRB2).

10. A first node in a wireless communication system, the first node comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller operably coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

generate, first configuration information of a radio bearer for transmitting a first message by a user equipment (UE) in an inactive state,

transmit, to the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) release message including the first configuration information, and

receive, from the UE in the inactive state, the first message comprising an LTE positioning protocol (LPP) message.

11. The first node of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, to the UE, a random access resource configuration.

12. The first node of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, to a second node, a UE context setup request to establish a radio bearer supporting transmission of the first message.

13. The first node of claim 12 , wherein the UE context setup request includes a signaling radio bearer (SRB) identifier (ID) and information associated with a radio link control (RLC) bearer.

14. The first node of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, to a second node, a release command message indicating to store configurations associated with the SDT.

15. The first node of claim 10 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from a second node, an initial uplink (UL) RRC message including information indicating the UE is accessing for the transmission of the first message.

16. The first node of claim 15 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from a third node, a second message for requesting a UE context including information for requesting transmission of the first message.

17. The first node of claim 16 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, to the third node, a third message including configuration of the radio bearer for transmitting the first message and information on configuration of a radio link control (RLC) bearer.

18. The first node of claim 10 , wherein the radio bearer for transmitting the first message comprises a signaling radio bearer 2 (SRB2).
