State transition method, user equipment, and radio network controller

An apparatus of a terminal, comprising:

• one or more processors coupled with a non-transitory storage medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the terminal to:
• send uplink radio resource control (RRC) signaling carrying an enhanced state transition capability of the terminal to a controlling node;
• receive state transition indication information and information about a target RRC state from the controlling node;
• and
• transit from a current RRC state to the target RRC state according to the state transition indication information and the information about the target RRC state.

A system, comprising:

• a terminal configured to send uplink radio resource control (RRC) signaling carrying an enhanced state transition capability of the terminal;
• a controlling node configured to receive the RRC signaling, generate state transition indication information according to the enhanced state transition capability of the terminal, and send the state transition indication information and information about a target RRC state to the terminal;
• and
• wherein the terminal is further configured to transit from a current RRC state to the target RRC state according to the state transition indication information and the information about the target RRC state.
