Abstract
A user equipment (UE) device including an antenna, a memory, a RF circuitry commutatively coupled to the antenna, and a processor configured to perform operations is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the operations include receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) release message from a base station, wherein the RRC release message comprises a suspend configuration to transition the UE to an RRC_INACTIVE state. In addition, the operations include entering the RRC_INACTIVE state. The operations include performing, while the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, an initial data transmission without transitioning from the RRC_INACTIVE state to a RRC_CONNECTED state. Additionally, the operations include monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a UE dedicated scheduling for a transmission or reception of a subsequent data during an active period, while the UE is in the RRC INACTIVE state. Further, the operations include performing the transmission or reception of the subsequent data based on the monitoring of the PDCCH.
