SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17739811 titled 'SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. - The focus is on a user equipment (UE) establishing a connection with a network entity and transitioning to an inactive state while maintaining a security context for the connection. - The UE can determine if there is data to be transmitted via the connection while in the inactive state. - If certain parameters associated with the connection meet a threshold criteria, the UE can transmit the data while still in the inactive state. - One example of a threshold criteria is the cell energy of a serving cell associated with the connection. - Another example is the amount of data to be transmitted, which should be below a size threshold for small data transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a user equipment (UE) may establish a connection with a network entity and transition to an inactive state in which a security context associated with the connection between the network entity and the UE is maintained. The UE may determine, based on a presence of data for transmission via the connection while in the inactive state, that one or more parameters associated with the connection meet a threshold criteria, and transmit the data via the connection while in the inactive state. The threshold criteria may be, for example, a cell energy of a serving cell associated with the connection, and an amount of data to be transmitted may be below a size threshold associated with a small data transmission.
