Abstract

A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and circuitry. The circuitry detects, while in a procedure for transmitting first data in an inactive state, that second data are to be transmitted in a connected state, and determines whether or not there is a transmission opportunity to wait for. When it is determined that there is no transmission opportunity to wait for or the transmission opportunity to wait for is no longer expected to occur, the circuitry initiates a random access channel (RACH) procedure for entering a connected state. When, on the other hand, it is determined that there is the transmission opportunity to wait for and the transmission opportunity occurs, the circuitry controls the transceiver to transmit, using the transmission opportunity, a traffic indication indicating the detection of the second data.
