Original Abstract Submitted
example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to grant skipping for a small data transmission (sdt) procedure. a first device determines whether data is available for transmission on a grant, the grant being allocated for a sdt procedure established between the first device and a second device. in accordance with a determination that the data is unavailable, the first device determines whether the transmission on the grant is to be skipped. in accordance with a determination that the transmission on the grant is not to be skipped, the first device performs the transmission on the grant to the second device, the transmission conveying a predetermined type of information without conveying the data. through this solution, the sdt procedure between the devices can be maintained as long as possible, to allow the first device to transmit subsequent data to or receive subsequent data from the second device without initiating a new sdt procedure.
