Abstract

Methods and devices are provided in a wireless communication system. A first radio resource control (RRC) connection release message is received that includes a resume identity. A random access preamble is transmitted. A random access response including timing alignment information and an uplink grant is received. A medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) including the uplink data and an RRC connection resume request message is transmitted. The RRC connection resume request includes the resume identity. An RRC message is received. The random access preamble is selected from a preamble group for transmitting the uplink data associated with a data radio bearer (DRB).

Claims (68)

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

receiving a first radio resource control (RRC) connection release message including a resume identity;
