Small Data Transmission Control - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18031939 titled 'Small Data Transmission Control
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for determining whether a user equipment can initiate a transmission of a signaling message using a small data transmission procedure while in an inactive state.
- The method allows for efficient transmission of signaling messages in an inactive state of the user equipment.
- The determination is based on specific criteria that determine whether the small data transmission procedure is allowed.
- If allowed, the user equipment can transmit the signaling message using the small data transmission procedure.
- If not allowed, the user equipment must use a different procedure for transmitting the signaling message.
- This method improves the overall efficiency and effectiveness of signaling message transmissions in user equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
There are provided apparatuses, methods and computer program products. In accordance with an embodiment, there is disclosed a method including determining whether initiating a transmission of a signaling message using a small data transmission procedure is allowed in an inactive state of a user equipment; based on the determination causing the user equipment either to perform: transmitting the signaling message using the small data transmission procedure in the inactive state; or transmitting the signaling message using a procedure other than the small data transmission procedure.
