Scheduling request and random access triggering for sdt

A terminal device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device to:
• receive, from a network device, a configuration of one or more configured grant resources for a small data transmission (SDT) procedure and a list of one or more DRBs associated with respective logical channels allowed for SDT over the at least one of the one or more configured grant resources;
• and
• in response to determining that a random access procedure is to be initiated, determine whether an initiation of the random access procedure is to be delayed.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a terminal device, from a network device, a configuration of one or more configured grant resources for a small data transmission (SDT) procedure and a list of one or more data radio bearers (DRBs) associated with respective logical channels allowed for SDT over at least one of the one or more configured grant resources;
• initiating, in an inactive mode, the SDT procedure;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that a buffer status report (BSR) is triggered, determining whether a configuration of a scheduling request mask is to be applied for a logical channel configured for SDT.
