Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to generating a notification that instructs a user equipment (UE) to perform a configured grant-small data transmission (CG-SDT) action to cause CG-SDT resources of the UE to be released. A base station generates a notification with an instruction to perform a CG-SDT action and communicates the notification to a UE. The UE receives the instruction and performs the CG-SDT action to release CG-SDT resources allocated to the UE while the UE is in an inactive state.
Claims20
A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving configuration information, the configuration information indicating a mapping of one or more actions pertaining to configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE to respective short message bit positions;
- receiving, while the UE is in an inactive state, a notification in a form of downlink control information with a short message field including one or more bits, the notification including an instruction indicating to perform an action of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE;
- identifying, using the mapping of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE to the respective short message bit positions, the action from at least one short message bit position of the one or more bits;
- and
- performing the action according to the instruction as pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality while the UE is in the inactive state.
2 more elements
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive configuration information, the configuration information indicating a mapping of one or more actions pertaining to configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE to respective short message bit positions;
- receive, while the UE is in an inactive state, a notification in a form of downlink control information with a short message field including one or more bits, the notification including an instruction indicating to perform an action of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE;
- identify, using the mapping of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE to the respective short message bit positions, the action from at least one short message bit position of the one or more bits;
- and
- perform the action according to the instruction as pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality while the UE is in the inactive state.
5 more elements
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:
- generate configuration information, the configuration information indicating a mapping one or more actions pertaining to configured grant-small data transmission functionality of a user equipment (UE) to respective short message bit positions;
- transmit the configuration information for receipt by the UE;
- generate a notification in a form of downlink control information with a short message field including one or more bits, the notification including an instruction indicating to perform an action of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the UE while the UE is in an inactive state;
- and
- transmit the notification for receipt by the UE while the UE is in the inactive state.
5 more elements
A processor for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
- receive configuration information, the configuration information indicating a mapping of one or more actions pertaining to configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the processor to respective short message bit positions;
- receive a notification in a form of downlink control information a short message field including one or more bits, the notification including an instruction indicating to perform an action of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of a device while the device is in an inactive state;
- identify, using the mapping of the one or more actions pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality of the processor to the respective short message bit positions, the action from at least one short message bit position of the one or more bits;
- and
- perform the action according to the instruction as pertaining to the configured grant-small data transmission functionality while the processor is in the inactive state.
