Abstract

A base station central unit (BS-CU) transmits, to a wireless device, a first radio resource control (RRC) release message comprising a first configured uplink grant configuration, of a first cell, for an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state of the wireless device. The BS-CU receives, from the wireless device, via a second cell different from the first cell, a second RRC message comprising a resume identity of the wireless device and indicating a release, by the wireless device, of the first configured uplink grant configuration of the first cell. The BS-CU sends, to a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) associated with the first cell, a message indicating release of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a base station central unit (BS-CU) from a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages, wherein the one or more RRC messages:

comprise a resume identity of the wireless device; and

indicate a release, by the wireless device, of a first configured uplink grant configuration, of a first cell, for an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state of the wireless device; and

sending, to a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) associated with the first cell, a message indicating the release of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the BS-CU from the BS-DU, the first configured uplink grant configuration of the first cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message indicating the release comprises a first configured uplink grant configuration identifier of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message indicating the release comprises

a first cell identifier of the first cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the first cell is associated with the BS-DU.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message indicating the release is an F1 application protocol message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based on a first cell identifier, that the BS-DU is associated with the first cell; and

sending the message to the BS-DU based on the determining that the BS-DU is associated with the first cell.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configured uplink grant configuration for the RRC inactive state or the RRC idle state is associated with a small data transmission (SDT) procedure.

9. A base station central unit (BS-CU) comprising: one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the BS-CU to:

receive, from a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages, wherein the one or more RRC messages:

comprise a resume identity of the wireless device; and

indicate a release, by the wireless device, of a first configured uplink grant configuration, of a first cell, for an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state of the wireless device; and

send, to a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) associated with the first cell, a message indicating the release of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

10. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-CU to receive, from the BS-DU, the first configured uplink grant configuration of the first cell.

11. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the message indicating the release comprises a first configured uplink grant configuration identifier of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

12. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the message indicating the release comprises

a first cell identifier of the first cell.

13. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-CU to determine that the first cell is associated with the BS-DU.

14. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the message indicating the release is an F1 application protocol message.

15. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the BS-CU to:

determine, based on a first cell identifier, that the BS-DU is associated with the first cell; and

send the message to the BS-DU based on the determining that the BS-DU is associated with the first cell.

16. The BS-CU of claim 9 , wherein the first configured uplink grant configuration for the RRC inactive state or the RRC idle state is associated with a small data transmission (SDT) procedure.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages, wherein the one or more RRC messages:

comprise a resume identity of the wireless device; and

indicate a release, by the wireless device, of a first configured uplink grant configuration, of a first cell, for an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state of the wireless device; and

send, to a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) associated with the first cell, a message indicating the release of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive, from the BS-DU, the first configured uplink grant configuration of the first cell.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the message indicating the release comprises a first configured uplink grant configuration identifier of the first configured uplink grant configuration.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the message indicating the release comprises at least one of:

a first configured uplink grant configuration identifier of the first configured uplink grant configuration; or

a first cell identifier of the first cell.
