Method and system for managing dedicated configured grant (cg) resources for small data transmission

A first device for managing a set of dedicated configured grant (CG) resources for data transmission, the first device comprising:

• memory comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the first device to:
• identify an availability of one or more dedicated CG resources in the first device;
• receive information on one or more signal strength indicator (RSSI) values of one or more second devices related to the first device;
• identify one or more trusted devices from among the one or more second devices based on the information on the one or more RSSI values;
• select at least one target device from among the one or more trusted devices and transmitting a CG resource release message to the target device;
• and
• transmit data related to the first device on one or more available CG resources of the target device.

A non-transitory computer readable storage media storing one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs include instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a first device, cause the first device to:

• identify an availability of one or more dedicated CG resources in the first device;
• receive information on one or more signal strength indicator (RSSI) values of one or more second devices related to the first device;
• identify one or more trusted devices from among the one or more second devices based on the information on the one or more RSSI values;
• select at least one target device from among the one or more trusted devices and transmitting a CG resource release message to the target device;
• and
• transmit data related to the first device on one or more available CG resources of the target device.
