View source for MULTIPLE CONFIGURED GRANT SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATIONS: abstract simplified (18165298)

The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a user equipment (UE) can transmit a capability message to indicate its support for multiple configured grant small data transmission (CG-SDT) configurations. The UE then receives one or more downlink messages that collectively provide information about the downlink bandwidth part (BWP), uplink BWP, and a set of CG-SDT configurations based on the capability message. Each CG-SDT configuration is associated with specific time and frequency resources for use in one or more CG-SDTs. The UE can transition out of a radio resource control (RRC) connected state based on the received downlink messages. Finally, the UE can transmit an initial CG-SDT that includes a common control channel (CCCH) message using the time and frequency resources associated with the CG-SDT configurations by comparing their respective time and frequency resources.
