Abstract

A method and apparatus for data transfer in RRC_INACTIVE state is provided. Method for data transfer in RRC_INACTIVE state includes receiving configuration information for second resume procedure in RRCRelease, receiving configuration information for second resume procedure in System Information, and triggering a PHR. The triggered PHR is canceled if specific conditions are fulfilled.

Claims (21)

1. A method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, by the terminal, an RRCReconfiguration, wherein the RRCReconfiguration includes a first Power Headroom Report (PHR)-Config;

receiving, by the terminal, an RRCRelease message, wherein the RRCRelease message includes first information for a second resume procedure, and wherein the first information for the second resume procedure includes a Signaling Radio Bearer2 (SRB2) indicator and a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) list;

receiving, by the terminal, system information, wherein the system information includes a first timer value and a second timer value and a first threshold and a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is related to a reference signal reception power, and wherein the second threshold is related to a data volume;

triggering, by the terminal, a PHR; and

cancelling, by the terminal, the triggered PHR if the second resume procedure is ongoing and if an uplink grant can accommodate all pending data available for transmission but is not sufficient to accommodate all pending data available and a PHR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) and the PHR MAC CE's subheader,

wherein the triggered PHR is based on a second PHR-Config if the second resume procedure is ongoing, and wherein a multiplePHR is set to FALSE in the second PHR-Config and set to either FALSE or TRUE in the first PHR-Config.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PHR is based on the first PHR-Config if the second resume procedure is not ongoing.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second resume procedure is initiated if all conditions of a first condition group are fulfilled, wherein the first condition group includes a reference signal reception power being greater than the first threshold and a data volume being smaller than the second threshold and second resume procedure related information being included in the system information, and wherein the second resume procedure related information includes the first threshold and the second threshold.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second resume procedure is ongoing if a first timer is running.

5. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to control the transceiver to:

receive, by the terminal, an RRCRelease message, wherein the RRCRelease message includes first information for a second resume procedure, and wherein the first information for the second resume procedure includes a Signaling Radio Bearer2 (SRB2) indicator and a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) list;

receive, by the terminal, system information, wherein the system information includes a first timer value and a second timer value and a first threshold and a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is related to a reference signal reception power, and wherein the second threshold is related to a data volume;

trigger, by the terminal, a Power Headroom Report (PHR); and

cancel, by the terminal, the triggered PHR if the second resume procedure is ongoing and if an uplink grant can accommodate all pending data available for transmission but is not sufficient to accommodate all pending data available and a PHR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) and the PHR MAC CE's subheader,

wherein the triggered PHR is based on a second PHR-Config if the second resume procedure is ongoing, and wherein a multiplePHR is set to FALSE in the second PHR-Config and set to either FALSE or TRUE in a first PHR-Config.
