## Abstract

In some embodiments, a wireless device receives a radio resource control (RRC) release message including an identifier of a first synchronization signal block (SSB) among a plurality of SSBs and one or more resource parameters of an uplink resource, corresponding to the first SSB, for use in an RRC inactive state. The wireless device transmits a transport block via the uplink resource, based on determining that the uplink resource is valid for use in the RRC inactive state. The wireless device determines that the uplink resource is valid based on a beam measurement value of the first SSB being higher than or equal to a first threshold.
