Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communication. A network device transmits, to a terminal device, a configuration of bandwidth part for transmission of uplink data in an inactive state, the configuration comprising a configured grant. When the terminal device decides to transmit the uplink data in the inactive state, the terminal device determines the configured grant from the configuration of bandwidth part, and transmits, in the inactive state, the uplink data to the network device based on the configured grant. In this way, configuration grant based small data transmission can be enhanced.
Claims18
A method of communication performed by a terminal device, the method comprising:
- performing a transmission for Configured Grant (CG) based Small Data Transmission (SDT);
- starting a first timer and a second timer when the transmission for the CG based SDT is performed;
- performing retransmission for the CG based SDT in a case where the first timer is not running;
- and
- monitoring a control channel while the second timer is running.
A method of communication performed by a network device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a terminal device, a transmission for Configured Grant (CG) based Small Data Transmission (SDT), wherein a first timer and a second timer are started when the transmission is performed;
- receiving, from the terminal device, retransmission for the CG based SDT in a case where the first timer is not running;
- and
- transmitting a control channel to the terminal device,
- wherein the control channel is monitored by the terminal device while the second timer is running.
A terminal device, comprising:
- at least one computer readable memory configured to store program instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that when executing the program instructions perform operations comprising:
- a transmission for Configured Grant (CG) based Small Data Transmission (SDT);
- starting a first timer and a second timer when the transmission is performed;
- and
- performing retransmission for the CG based SDT in a case where the first timer is not running;
- and
- monitoring a control channel while the second timer is running.
