Abstract

User equipment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may: receive a radio resource control (RRC) release message including small data transmission (SDT) configuration information related to a configured grant (CG); switch to an RRC INACTIVE state; and, on the basis of a case in which a resource for the CG is activated on the basis of the SDT configuration information, transmit SDT data via the resource.

Claims (39)

1. A method of performing a small data transmission (SDT) procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) release message including SDT configuration information;

converting a current state to an RRC INACTIVE state based on the RRC release message; and

performing the SDT procedure based on the SDT configuration information,

wherein the SDT configuration information includes a configured grant (CG) configuration for the SDT procedure an uplink bandwidth part (BWP) configuration for the SDT procedure, and a downlink BWP for the SDT procedure,

wherein the SDT configuration is configured for a specific cell, and

wherein the UE stops a TAT (Time Alignment Timer) running for the SDT procedure based on an initiation of the SDT procedure for a cell different from the specific cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CG configuration includes one or more CG configuration indexes.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving configuration information on a search space related to the SDT procedure;

monitoring the search space for the one or more SDTs;

receiving downlink control information (DCI); and

performing the SDT procedure based on the DCI,

wherein the DCI includes at least one of resource allocation information for transmission of the SDT procedure, and indication information indicating deactivation, release, or suspension of the CG.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a preconfigured threshold and a quality of a synchronization signal block (SSB) related to the CG configuration, the SDT procedure is performed based on the CG configuration or RACH (Random Access Channel) procedure.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein, based on the quality of the SSB above the preconfigured threshold, the SDT procedure is performed based on the CG configuration.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein, based on the quality of the SSB that is less than the preconfigured threshold, the SDT procedure is performed based on the RACH procedure rather than the CG configuration.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, the UE further receives configuration information for a search space related to the SDT procedure, and

wherein the search space for the one or more SDTs is a common search space (CSS) or a UE-specific search space (USS).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on at least one of a quality of a synchronization signal block (SSB) related to the CG configuration, the validity of the CG configuration, a quality of the serving cell, and an amount of uplink data to be transmitted through the SDT procedure, the SDT procedure is performed based on the CG configuration or RACH (Random Access Channel) procedure.

9. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

one or more processors,

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive a radio resource control (RRC) release message including small data transmission (SDT) configuration information;

convert a current state to an RRC INACTIVE state based on the RRC release message; and

performing the SDT procedure based on the SDT configuration information, and

wherein the SDT configuration information includes a configured grant (CG) configuration for the SDT procedure, an uplink bandwidth part (BWP) configuration for the SDT procedure, and a downlink BWP for the SDT procedure,

wherein the SDT configuration is configured for a specific cell, and

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to stop a TAT (Time Alignment Timer) running for the SDT procedure based on an initiation of the SDT procedure for a cell different from the specific cell.

10. A method of receiving a uplink data by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) release message including small data transmission (SDT) configuration information; and

receiving the uplink data related to the SDT procedure,

wherein the SDT configuration information includes a configured grant (CG) configuration for the SDT procedure, an uplink bandwidth part (BWP) configuration for the SDT procedure, and a downlink BWP for the SDT procedure,

wherein the SDT configuration is configured for a specific cell, and

wherein, based on the initiation of the SDT procedure for a cell different from the specific cell, a TAT (Time Alignment Timer) running for the SDT procedure is stopped.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the CG configuration includes one or more CG configuration indexes.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein, based on a preconfigured threshold and a quality of a synchronization signal block (SSB) related to the CG configuration, the SDT procedure is performed based on the CG configuration or RACH (Random Access Channel) procedure.
