==USER EQUIPMENT DIRECT TRANSMISSION WHILE INACTIVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441326 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT DIRECT TRANSMISSION WHILE INACTIVE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for allowing an inactive user equipment (UE) to transmit uplink data to a base station using a contention-free random access process. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The method involves receiving configuration information from the network regarding a dedicated physical random access channel (PRACH) resource or a dedicated preamble resource.
* While in an inactive state, without entering a connected state, the UE uses a contention-free random access process to transmit uplink data to the base station using the dedicated PRACH/preamble resource.

Potential applications of this technology:

* This technology can be used in cellular networks to improve the efficiency of uplink data transmission from inactive UEs.
* It can be particularly useful in scenarios where UEs need to transmit small amounts of data sporadically, without the need to establish a full connection with the network.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Inactive UEs typically cannot transmit uplink data without first establishing a connection with the network, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
* This technology solves this problem by allowing inactive UEs to directly transmit uplink data using a contention-free random access process, without the need for a full connection.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved efficiency: By allowing inactive UEs to transmit uplink data directly, the technology reduces the time and resources required for establishing a connection.
* Enhanced network capacity: The use of contention-free random access process enables more efficient utilization of network resources, leading to increased network capacity.
* Reduced latency: Inactive UEs can quickly transmit small amounts of data without the need for connection establishment, resulting in reduced latency for certain applications.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for direct transmission of uplink data by an INACTIVE UE using a contention free random access (CFRA) process. In one example, a method, includes, receiving, from a network, configuration of a dedicated physical random access channel (PRACH) resource or a dedicated preamble resource (dedicated PRACH/preamble resource); and while in a radio resource control (RRC) INACTIVE state, without entering an RRC CONNECTED state, using a contention-free random access (CFRA) process to transmit uplink data to a base station using the dedicated PRACH/preamble resource.
