Method and apparatus for performing EDT
Provided are a method for a user equipment (UE) to perform early data transmission (EDT) in a wireless communication, and an apparatus supporting the same. The method may include: receiving system information including a threshold for the EDT; determining whether or not a condition for initiating the EDT is satisfied, by comparing the threshold for the EDT with a size of data for transmission; if the condition is satisfied, performing the EDT; and if the condition is not satisfied, performing a radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment or resume procedure.
1. A method for transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), uplink data in a wireless communication, the method comprising:
receiving system information including a first threshold for early data transmission (EDT), from a base station (BS);
transmitting a random access preamble to the BS;
receiving a random access response message from the BS;
based on a size of the uplink data which is less than the first threshold for the EDT, transmitting a message including the uplink data to the BS, in response to the random access response message.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EDT is initiated based on the size of the uplink data and the first threshold for the EDT.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first threshold for the EDT is a threshold related to the size of the uplink data for the EDT.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the uplink data is a data size in a layer 2 including a medium access control (MAC) layer.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink data is a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU).
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) UE.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message including the uplink data is transmitted to the BS in response to the random access response message, based on a delay requirement of the uplink data which is lower than a second threshold for the EDT.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second threshold for the EDT is a threshold related to the delay requirement for the EDT.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the EDT is initiated based on the delay requirement of the uplink data and the second threshold for the EDT.
11. A user equipment (UE) transmitting uplink data in a wireless communication, the UE comprising:
at least one transceiver; at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving system information including a first threshold for early data transmission (EDT), from a base station (BS);
transmitting a random access preamble to the BS;
receiving a random access response message from the BS;
based on a size of the uplink data which is less than the first threshold for the EDT, transmitting a message including the uplink data to the BS, in response to the random access response message.
12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the EDT is initiated based on the size of the uplink data and the first threshold for the EDT.
13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first threshold for the EDT is a threshold related to the size of the uplink data for the EDT.
14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the size of the uplink data is a data size in a layer 2 including a medium access control (MAC) layer.
15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the uplink data is a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU).
16. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state.
17. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the UE is a Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) UE.
18. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the message including the uplink data is transmitted to the BS in response to the random access response message, based on a delay requirement of the uplink data which is lower than a second threshold for the EDT.
19. The UE of claim 18 , wherein the second threshold for the EDT is a threshold related to the delay requirement for the EDT.
20. The UE of claim 18 , wherein the EDT is initiated based on the delay requirement of the uplink data and the second threshold for the EDT.
