Application: Method, device and computer storage medium of communication (Patent ID: US20240214862A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp. relates to methods, devices, and computer-readable media for communication, specifically focusing on improving the performance of Small Data Transmission (SDT) procedures in terminal devices. The terminal device determines whether a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity re-establishment is needed for a radio bearer configured with SDT, and if so, re-establishes the RLC entity before transmitting uplink data in an inactive state on the radio bearer. This approach enhances the handling of RLC entity re-establishment for SDT-configured radio bearers, ultimately improving the overall performance of the SDT procedure.
The patent includes multiple claims outlining methods for User Equipment (UE) to support SDT procedures and trigger requests for system information in specific scenarios. These methods involve starting and stopping timers related to the SDT procedure, handling Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reject messages, and managing RLC retransmissions. The UE described in the patent comprises a memory and a processor configured to execute these methods, ensuring efficient and effective implementation of SDT procedures while maintaining reliable communication protocols.
