Abstract
A base station transmits small-data-transmission data to a user equipment. The user equipment is set to an inactive state. The base station provides the small-data-transmission data. The base station sends a paging notification having a backoff-parameter-value range to the user equipment The user equipment receives the backoff-parameter-value range. The user equipment selects a backoff time according to the backoff-parameter-value range.
Claims13
A method for transmitting Small Data Transmission, SDT, data from a base station, gNB, to a user equipment, UE, the method comprising the steps of:
- setting the UE to an inactive state;
- providing, by the gNB, the SDT data;
- sending, from the gNB to the UE, a paging notification, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range;
- receiving, by the UE, the BPV range;
- and
- selecting, by the UE, a backoff time according to the BPV range.
A method for transmitting Small Data Transmission, SDT, data by a base station, gNB, the method comprising:
- providing the SDT data;
- and
- when a user equipment, UE, is in an inactive state, sending a paging notification to the UE, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range.
A method for receiving Small Data Transmission, SDT, data by a user equipment, UE, the method comprising:
- setting the UE to an inactive state;
- receiving a paging notification, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range;
- and
- selecting a backoff time according to the BPV range.
A wireless communication system, configured for transmitting Small Data Transmission, SDT, data from a base station, gNB, to a user equipment, UE, the wireless communication system being configured to perform operations comprising:
- setting the UE to an inactive state;
- providing, by the gNB, the SDT data;
- sending, from the gNB to the UE, a paging notification, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range;
- receiving, by the UE, the BPV range;
- and
- selecting, by the UE, a backoff time according to the BPV range.
A base station, gNB, configured for transmitting Small Data Transmission, SDT, data, the base station being configured to perform operations comprising:
- providing the SDT data;
- and
- when a user equipment, UE, is in an inactive state, sending a paging notification to the UE, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range.
A user equipment, UE, configured for receiving Small Data Transmission, SDT, data, the user equipment being configured to perform operations comprising:
- setting the UE to an inactive state;
- receiving a paging notification, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range;
- and
- selecting a backoff time according to the BPV range.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored therein, which, when executed by a processor of a base station, gNB, cause the gNB to perform operations comprising:
- providing the SDT data;
- and
- when a user equipment, UE, is in an inactive state, sending a paging notification to the UE, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored therein, which, when executed by a processor of a user equipment, UE, cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
- setting the UE to an inactive state;
- receiving a paging notification, the paging notification comprising a backoff parameter value, BPV, range;
- and
- selecting a backoff time according to the BPV range.
