Abstract

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes in case that a random access procedure for small data transmission (SDT) in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state is initiated, transmitting, to a base station, a RRC message including a parameter associated with a size of uplink data, receiving, from the base station, a response message including information associated with transmission resource for the uplink data, and transmitting, to the base station, the uplink data based on the transmission resource.

Claims (41)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a message A (MsgA) including a payload and a preamble, wherein the payload includes common control channel (CCCH) data and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for a buffer status report (BSR), wherein the MAC CE for the BSR indicates a size of uplink (UL) data to be transmitted, and wherein the CCCH data includes an authentication token associated with a radio resource control (RRC) resume request, the authentication token being a resumeMAC-I;

receiving, from the base station, a message B (MsgB) including a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI);

identifying that a random access procedure is completed, in case that a contention resolution identity included in the MsgB with a success random access response (RAR) matches the CCCH data included in the MsgA;

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) addressed to the C-RNTI for a UL grant, after a completion of the random access procedure; and

transmitting, to the base station, the UL data, based on the UL grant, in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state,

wherein the UL data is ciphered and integrity protected, based on at least one security key, and

wherein the at least one security key is derived using a next hop chaining count value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CCCH data further includes a parameter indicating an identity of the terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the UL data is associated with a small data transmission (SDT) procedure.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the SDT procedure is initiated based on a 2-step random access procedure.

5. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, a message A (MsgA) including a payload and a preamble, wherein the payload includes common control channel (CCCH) data and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for a buffer status report (BSR), wherein the MAC CE for the BSR indicates a size of uplink (UL) data to be received, and wherein the CCCH data includes an authentication token associated with a radio resource control (RRC) resume request, the authentication token being a resumeMAC-I;

transmitting, to the terminal, a message B (MsgB) including a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), wherein the MsgB with a success random access response (RAR) including a contention resolution identity and the CCCH data included in the MsgA are associated with a completion of a random access procedure;

transmitting, to the terminal via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) addressed to the C-RNTI, a UL grant, after the completion of the random access procedure; and

receiving, from the terminal, the UL data, based on the UL grant, in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state,

wherein the UL data is ciphered and integrity protected, based on at least one security key, and

wherein the at least one security key is derived using a next hop chaining count value.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CCCH data further includes a parameter indicating an identity of the terminal.

7. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the reception of the UL data is associated with a small data transmission (SDT) procedure, and

wherein the SDT procedure is initiated based on a 2-step random access procedure.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a base station via the transceiver, a message A (MsgA) including a payload and a preamble, wherein the payload includes common control channel (CCCH) data and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for a buffer status report (BSR), wherein the MAC CE for the BSR indicates a size of uplink (UL) data to be transmitted, and wherein the CCCH data includes an authentication token associated with a radio resource control (RRC) resume request, the authentication token being a resumeMAC-I,

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, a message B (MsgB) including a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI),

identify that a random access procedure is completed, in case that a contention resolution identity included in the MsgB with a success random access response (RAR) matches the CCCH data included in the MsgA,

monitor, via the transceiver, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) addressed to the C-RNTI for a UL grant, after a completion of the random access procedure, and

transmit, to the base station via the transceiver, the UL data, based on the UL grant, in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state,

wherein the UL data is ciphered and integrity protected, based on at least one security key, and

wherein the at least one security key is derived using a next hop chaining count value.

9. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a terminal via the transceiver, a message A (MsgA) including a payload and a preamble, wherein the payload includes common control channel (CCCH) data and a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for a buffer status report (BSR), wherein the MAC CE for the BSR indicates a size of uplink (UL) data to be received, and wherein the CCCH data includes an authentication token associated with a radio resource control (RRC) resume request, the authentication token being a resumeMAC-I,

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, a message B (MsgB) including a cell-radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI), wherein the MsgB with a success random access response (RAR) including a contention resolution identity and the CCCH data included in the MsgA is-are associated with a completion of a random access procedure,

transmit, to the terminal via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) addressed to the C-RNTI, a UL grant, via the transceiver, after the completion of the random access procedure, and

receive, from the terminal via the transceiver, the UL data, based on the UL grant, in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state,

wherein the UL data is ciphered and integrity protected, based on at least one security key, and

wherein the at least one security key is derived using a next hop chaining count value.
