Communication control method, radio terminal, apparatus and base station
User equipment, and an apparatus and method used in user equipment are perform a predetermined data transmission in which the user equipment transmits uplink user data when the user equipment is in an RRC inactive state. The user equipment, apparatus and method transmit a random access preamble for the predetermined data transmission to a base station during a random access procedure, and transmit an MSG 3 message together with uplink user data to the base station during the random access procedure. A base station performs a predetermined data transmission in which a user equipment transmits uplink user data when the user equipment is in an RRC inactive state, includes a receiver receiving a random access preamble for the predetermined data transmission during a random access procedure from the user equipment, and receives an MSG 3 message together with uplink user data from the user equipment during the random access procedure.
1. A user equipment configured to perform a predetermined data transmission in which the user equipment transmits uplink user data when the user equipment is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the user equipment comprising a processor and a memory, the processor configured to
transmit to a base station during a random access procedure, a random access preamble configured for the predetermined data transmission, and
transmit to the base station during the random access procedure, an MSG 3 message together with uplink user data, wherein
the processor is further configured to
receive from the base station, a first timer value for a random access procedure without the predetermined data transmission and a second timer value for a random access procedure with the predetermined data transmission,
start a timer configured with the second timer value in response to transmitting the MSG 3 message together with the uplink user data, and
in response to the timer being expired, determine that the predetermined data transmission is failed.
2. An apparatus for controlling a user equipment configured to perform a predetermined data transmission in which the user equipment transmits uplink user data when the user equipment is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the processor configured to
transmit to a base station during a random access procedure, a random access preamble configured for the predetermined data transmission, and
transmit to the base station during the random access procedure, an MSG 3 message together with uplink user data, wherein
the processor is further configured to
receive from the base station, a first timer value for a random access procedure without the predetermined data transmission and a second timer value for a random access procedure with the predetermined data transmission,
start a timer configured with the second timer value in response to transmitting the MSG 3 message together with the uplink user data, and
in response to the timer being expired, determine that the predetermined data transmission is failed.
3. A method used in a user equipment configured to perform a predetermined data transmission in which the user equipment transmits uplink user data when the user equipment is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the method comprising:
transmitting to a base station during a random access procedure, a random access preamble configured for the predetermined data transmission; and
transmitting to the base station during the random access procedure, an MSG 3 message together with uplink user data, wherein
the method further comprises:
receiving from the base station, a first timer value for a random access procedure without the predetermined data transmission and a second timer value for a random access procedure with the predetermined data transmission;
starting a timer configured with the second timer value in response to transmitting the MSG 3 message together with the uplink user data; and
in response to the timer being expired, determining that the predetermined data transmission is failed.
4. A base station configured to perform a predetermined data transmission in which a user equipment transmits uplink user data when the user equipment is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, the base station comprising
a transmitter configured to transmit to the user equipment, a first timer value for a random access procedure without the predetermined data transmission and a second timer value for a random access procedure with the predetermined data transmission, and
a receiver configured to receive, during a random access procedure, a random access preamble configured for the predetermined data transmission, from the user equipment, wherein
the receiver is configured to receive from the user equipment during the random access procedure, an MSG 3 message together with uplink user data.
