Abstract
A system is disclosed in which a user equipment (UE) performs small data transmissions in Radio Resource Control (RRC) Inactive state. The UE receives information configuring small data transmissions via a control-plane, and when there is uplink data to be sent as a small data transmission, the UE generates and transmits an RRC message comprising said small data transmission using a Signalling Radio Bearer (SRB) provided via a Common Control Channel (CCCH).
