Method and apparatus for performing uplink transmission with pre-allocated beams in wireless communication system

Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing an uplink (UL) transmission with pre-allocated beams in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives a connection release message from a network in a first state. The connection release message includes information on a pre-allocated UL resource for UL transmission with pre-allocated beams. The UE enters a second sate from the first state, selects a cell, and performs the UL transmission to the cell in the second state via the pre-allocated beams based on the pre-configured UL resource for UL transmission when a data is available for transmission. The first state may be a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, and the second state may be an RRC inactive state and/or an RRC idle state.
