Abstract
A method for a user equipment (UE) to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is provided. The method receives, while being in a radio resource control (RRC)_CONNECTED state, from a base station (BS), an RRC release message that includes a small data transmission (SDT) configuration. After receiving the RRC release message, the method transitions to an RRC_INACTIVE state from the RRC_CONNECTED state in response to receiving the RRC release message. The method then initiates an SDT procedure based on the SDT configuration. The method further determines whether a search space set associated with an SDT search space is received from the BS. The method monitors the PDCCH by monitoring the search space set during the SDT procedure when the search space set is received from the BS.
