Abstract
A method of a small data transmission for a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) release message, the RRC release message including a configured grant configuration and a first timer associated with the configured grant configuration, the configured grant configuration indicating an uplink (UL) resource; transitioning to an RRC_INACTIVE state in response to receiving the RRC release message; starting the first timer in response to receiving the RRC release message; determining whether the UL resource is valid, the UL resource being invalid at least when the first timer expires; and transmitting UL data on the UL resource after the UE determines that the UL resource is valid.
