Method and apparatus for performing small data transmission in RRC inactive state in wireless communication system
The present disclosure relates to a method of performing data transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Especially, the method includes the steps of receiving a message indicating a change of a Radio resource control (RRC) state from a RRC CONNECTED state to a RRC INACTIVE state, wherein the message includes information related to second resources and a threshold; and if a time gap between a current time and a first resource is smaller than the threshold, performing the data transmission in the RRC INACTIVE state based on the first resource with ignoring at least one of the second resources which is located earlier than the first resource.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a network, a message indicating a change of a Radio resource control (RRC) state from a RRC CONNECTED state to a RRC INACTIVE state, wherein the message includes information for a plurality of configured grants (CGs) and a threshold related to a time gap; and
based on the time gap between a current time and a location of a random access (RA) resource in a time domain being smaller than the threshold, performing data transmission to the network in the RRC INACTIVE state on the RA resource with ignoring at least one CG which is located earlier than the RA resource among the plurality of CGs.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based on the time gap being greater than or equal to the threshold, selecting an earliest resource among the RA resource and the CGs from the current time in the time domain; and
performing the data transmission on the selected earliest resource in the RRC INACTIVE state.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CGs are configured periodically from a preconfigured stating symbol.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state does not have a connection with a network.
5 . A user equipment (UE) comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a network, a message indicating a change of a Radio resource control (RRC) state from a RRC CONNECTED state to a RRC INACTIVE state, wherein the message includes information for a plurality of configured grants (CGs) and a threshold related to a time gap; and
based on the time gap between a current time and a location of a random access (RA) resource in a time domain being smaller than the threshold, performing a data transmission to the network in the RRC INACTIVE state on the RA resource with ignoring at least one CG which is located earlier than the RA resource among the plurality of CGs.
6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise:
based on the time gap being greater than or equal to the threshold, selecting an earliest resource among the RA resource and the CGs from the current time in the time domain; and
performing the data transmission on the selected earliest resource in the RRC INACTIVE state.
7 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the CGs are configured periodically from a preconfigured stating symbol.
8 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE does not have a connection with a network.
9 . An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a network, a message indicating a change of a Radio resource control (RRC) state from a RRC CONNECTED state to a RRC INACTIVE state, wherein the message includes information for a plurality of configured grants (CGs) and a threshold related to a time gap; and
based on the time gap between a current time and a location of a random access (RA) resource in a time domain being smaller than the threshold, performing a data transmission to the network in the RRC INACTIVE state on the RA resource with ignoring at least one CG which is located earlier than the RA resource among the plurality of CGs.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a user equipment (UE) to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a network, a message indicating a change of a Radio resource control (RRC) state from a RRC CONNECTED state to a RRC INACTIVE state, wherein the message includes information for a plurality of configured grants (CGs) and a threshold related to a time gap; and
based on the time gap between a current time and a location of a random access (RA) resource in a time domain being smaller than the threshold, performing a data transmission to the network in the RRC INACTIVE state on the RA resource with ignoring at least one CG which is located earlier than the RA resource among the plurality of CGs.
