Abstract

An operation method of a base station in a communication system may include generating an indicator indicating transmission of small data; transmitting the indicator to a terminal; and transmitting the small data associated with the indicator to the terminal, wherein the terminal operates in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state.

Claims (13)

1. A method of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) connection release message including pre-allocated uplink resource-small data transmission (PUR-SDT) configuration information and a logical channel identifier (LCID) for a SDT from a base station;

determining whether one or more conditions for the SDT are satisfied; and

when the one or more conditions are satisfied, performing the SDT in an uplink resource indicated by the PUR-SDT configuration information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the RRC connection release message is received, an operating state of the terminal is transitioned from a RRC connected state to a RRC idle state or a RRC inactive state, and the SDT is performed by the terminal operating in the RRC idle state or the RRC inactive state.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more conditions include a data volume threshold and a channel quality threshold.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the determining whether one or more conditions for a SDT are satisfied comprising:

determining whether a volume of small data to be transmitted from the terminal to the base station is less than or equal to the data volume threshold; and

determining whether a channel quality between the terminal and the base station is equal to or greater than the channel quality threshold.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein information of the one or more conditions for the SDT is included in the RRC connection release message.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PUR-SDT configuration information includes at least one of information of the uplink resource, information of a bearer of the SDT, or timing information of the SDT.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a transmission window starts at a time of the SDT, a size of the transmission window is configured by the base station, and the SDT is not performed after end of the transmission window.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink resource is configured in a bandwidth part (BWP) configured by the base station, and configuration information of the BWP is included in the RRC connection release message.
