METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121847 titled 'METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and computer-readable media for communication. A terminal device transmits uplink data in an inactive state to a network device, and if a resume of a connection with the network device is to be performed at a cell where the transmission has been performed, the terminal device performs the resume of the connection by at least one of the following: maintaining, in a PDCP re-establishment, a state variable of PDCP entities of UM DRBs or SRBs; or at least one of initiating a PDCP recovery for at least DRBs supporting a transmission in the inactive state or discarding PDCP SDUs and PDCP PDUs for SRBs supporting a transmission in the inactive state. In this way, security during an SDT procedure can be enhanced.

  • Methods, devices, and computer-readable media for enhancing security during a resume of a connection with a network device.
  • Terminal devices can perform a resume of a connection by maintaining state variables of PDCP entities or initiating PDCP recovery for DRBs or SRBs supporting a transmission in an inactive state.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Mobile communication networks

Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for communication. a terminal device transmits uplink data in an inactive state to a network device, and if a resume of a connection with the network device is to be performed at a cell where the transmission has been performed, the terminal device performs the resume of the connection by at least one of the following: maintaining, in a pdcp re-establishment, a state variable of pdcp entities of um drbs or srbs; or at least one of initiating a pdcp recovery for at least drbs supporting a transmission in the inactive state or discarding pdcp sdus and pdcp pdus for srbs supporting a transmission in the inactive state. in this way, security during a sdt procedure can be enhanced.
