Abstract
Method, systems and devices for small data transmissions can occur with user equipment even when the user equipment is in an inactive state. Small data transmissions while in an inactive state can save power and reduce signaling overhead. The small data transmissions may be prepared with small data transmission parameters. A small data transmission indication is included in a reply to user equipment that requests small data transmission communication.
