METHOD OF TRANSMITTING BUFFER STATUS REPORTING RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE FOR DATA TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18263628 titled 'METHOD OF TRANSMITTING BUFFER STATUS REPORTING RANDOM ACCESS PROCEDURE FOR DATA TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method for transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method involves configuring two radio bearers (RBs), where one RB is allowed to transmit data in a radio resource control (RRC) INACTIVE state and the other RB is not allowed to transmit data in the RRC INACTIVE state. The data transmission related to the first RB is performed in the RRC INACTIVE state. When a data unit related to the second RB is generated during this data transmission, a procedure is initiated to transition to the RRC CONNECTED state, triggering the BSR upon transitioning to the RRC CONNECTED state.

  • Configuring two radio bearers, with different permissions in the RRC INACTIVE state
  • Performing data transmission related to the first RB in the RRC INACTIVE state
  • Initiating a procedure for transitioning to the RRC CONNECTED state when a data unit related to the second RB is generated
  • Triggering the BSR upon transitioning to the RRC CONNECTED state

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various wireless communication systems where efficient buffer status reporting is required, such as in 5G networks, IoT devices, and mobile communication devices.
