Abstract
Techniques discussed herein can facilitate inactive state transmissions for a Base Station (BS) via a 4-step or 2-step inactive state RACH process. One example aspect is a BS including communication circuitry and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication circuitry and configured to cause the BS to transmit a radio link quality threshold and an uplink data size for a Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive data transmission. Receive a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble in response to the radio link quality threshold and the uplink data size being satisfied. Receive the RRC inactive data transmission, and transmit a RACH message in response to receiving the RRC inactive data transmission.
