Method and apparatus for handling configured grant resources for small data transmission in wireless communication system
The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and an apparatus for handling configured grant (CG) resource for small data transmission (SDT) are provided.
1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) release message including information related to a suspend configuration and information related to a configured grant (CG) configuration for a small data transmission (SDT);
performing an SDT procedure based on the information related to the CG configuration for the SDT while the terminal is in an RRC inactive;
receiving, from the base station, a second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration; and
releasing the CG configuration for the SDT based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration while the terminal is in an RRC idle state.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on an integrity check failure.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on a cell reselection.
4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein a timer for a time alignment is stopped while the terminal is in the RRC idle state, and
wherein the terminal enters the RRC idle state based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration or a timer configured for the SDT expires.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein in case that the SDT procedure is performed based on a resume procedure, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is re-established for the SDT without triggering a PDCP status report.
6. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a terminal, a first radio resource control (RRC) release message including information related to a suspend configuration configuring an RRC inactive state for the terminal and information related to a configured grant (CG) resource configuration for a small data transmission (SDT);
receiving, from the terminal in the RRC inactive state, first-uplink data of the SDT based on the information related to the CG configuration for the SDT; and
transmitting, to the terminal, a second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration,
wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration while the terminal is in an RRC idle state.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on an integrity check failure.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on a cell reselection.
9. The method of claim 6 ,
wherein a timer for a time alignment is stopped while the terminal is in the RRC idle state, and
wherein the terminal enters the RRC idle state based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration or a timer configured for the SDT expires.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein in case that an SDT procedure is performed based on a resume procedure, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is re-established for the SDT without triggering a PDCP status report.
11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, from a base station, a first radio resource control (RRC) release message including information related to a suspend configuration and information related to a configured grant (CG) configuration for a small data transmission (SDT),
perform an SDT procedure based on the information related to the CG configuration for the SDT while the terminal is in an RRC inactive state,
receive, from the base station, a second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration, and
release the CG configuration for the SDT based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration while the terminal is in an RRC idle state.
12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on an integrity check failure.
13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on a cell reselection.
14. The terminal of claim 11 ,
wherein a timer for a time alignment is stopped while the terminal is in the RRC idle state, and
wherein the terminal enters the RRC idle state based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration or a timer configured for the SDT expires.
15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein in case that the SDT procedure is performed based on a resume procedure, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is re-established for the SDT without triggering a PDCP status report.
16. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
transmit, to a terminal, a first radio resource control (RRC) release message including information related to a suspend configuration configuring an RRC inactive state for the terminal and information related to a configured grant (CG) resource configuration for a small data transmission (SDT),
receive, from the terminal in the RRC inactive state, first uplink data of the SDT based on the information related to the CG configuration for the SDT, and
transmit, to the terminal, a second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration,
wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration while the terminal is in an RRC idle state.
17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on an integrity check failure.
18. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the CG configuration for the SDT is released based on a cell reselection.
19. The base station of claim 16 ,
wherein a timer for a time alignment is stopped while the terminal is in the RRC idle state, and
wherein the terminal enters the RRC idle state based on the second RRC release message without the information related to the suspend configuration or a timer configured for the SDT expires.
20. The base station of claim 16 , wherein in case that an SDT procedure is performed based on a resume procedure, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity is re-established for the SDT without triggering a PDCP status report.
