State transitioning method and electronic device using the same
First Claim
1. A state transitioning method used by a user equipment to switch between a connected state and an inactive state, and the method comprising:
- establishing a wireless connection to enter into a connected state;
receiving an inactive state command while being in the connected state;
entering into the inactive state in response to receiving the inactive state command;
transmitting a connection resume request while being in the inactive state;
receiving an uplink (UL) grant which corresponds to the connection resume request; and
transmitting UL data in response to receiving the UL grant,wherein the inactive state command is received from a first base station from which the wireless connection has been established, the inactive state command comprising information of a radio access network (RAN) based notification area (RNA), and a network criteria which assists the user equipment to determine whether a small data indication indicates true or false based on the network criteria and determine whether to enter the inactive state based on the small data indication.

Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a state transitioning method for switching between a connected state and an inactive state and related apparatuses using the same. In one of the exemplary embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a state transitioning method used by a user equipment (UE) for switching between a connected state and an inactive state. The method would include not limited to: establishing a wireless connection to enter into a connected state; receiving an inactive state command while being in the connected state; entering into the inactive state in response to receiving the inactive state command; transmitting a connection resume request while being in the inactive state; receiving an uplink (UL) grant which corresponds to the connection resume request; and transmitting UL data in response to receiving the UL grant.

10. A state transitioning method used by a base station, the method comprising:
-
configuring a connected state to establish a wireless connection; and transmitting an inactive state command in response to configuring the connected state, wherein the inactive state command is received from a first base station from which the wireless connection has been established, the inactive state command comprising information of a radio access network (RAN) based notification area (RNA), and a network criteria which assists a user equipment to determine whether a small data indication indicates true or false based on the network criteria and determine whether to enter the inactive state based on the small data indication. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A user equipment comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver; and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to; establish, via the transceiver, a wireless connection to enter into a connected state; receive, via the transceiver, an inactive state command while being in the connected state; enter into the inactive state in response to receiving the inactive state command; transmit, via the transceiver, a connection resume request while being in the inactive state; receive, via the transceiver, an uplink (UL) grant which corresponds to the connection resume request; and transmit, via the transceiver, UL data in response to receiving the UL grant, wherein the inactive state command is received from a first base station from which the wireless connection has been established, the inactive state command comprising information of a radio access network (RAN) based notification area (RNA), and a network criteria which assists the user equipment to determine whether a small data indication indicates true or false based on the network criteria and determine whether to enter the inactive state based on the small data indication.
