Abstract
A method executed by a User Equipment (UE) communicatively connected to a mobile communication network is provided. The UE operates in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state as configured by the mobile communication network. In response to a Small Data Transmission (SDT) procedure being triggered in the RRC inactive state, the UE monitors a signal quality of a serving cell of the mobile communication network or determines a traffic type of data to be transmitted in the SDT procedure. The UE determines whether to perform the SDT procedure based on the signal quality of the serving cell or the traffic type of the data.
