- the UE3 Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer generates SDAP data from IP data (QoS flow) and passes it to the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer. Subsequently, the PDCP layer of UE3 encrypts (ciphers) the SDAP data, generates PDCP data, and passes this to the RadioLink Control (RLC) layer of UE3.

- the RRCResumeRequest message may include information indicating that UL data will be sent in succession.
- these resources may be specified by new gNB1 via the second message of the 4-step random access (4-Step RA) procedure. If a two-step random access (2-Step RA) procedure is used, the UE 3 may transmit these two MAC PDUs with a predetermined first message (MsgA) resource.
- New gNB1 recognizes that it should first receive the first uplink MAC PDU, then receive the second uplink MAC PDU in succession from the first uplink MAC PDU, and the second uplink MAC. Further PDUs may be received. New gNB1 extracts an RRC Resume Request message (CCCH data) from the received first uplink MAC PDU, and extracts UL data (DTCH data) from the received second uplink MAC PDU.

- This UE context is also called a UE Access Stratum (AS) context or a UE Inactive AS context.
- AS UE Access Stratum
- the UE context includes, for example, the current security information, the cell identifier (cellIdentity, PCI) of the serving cell (PCell), the C-RNTI assigned to UE3, the IP data (QoS flow) of the SDAP layer, and the correspondence between the DRB (QoS). Information on flow to DRB mapping rule) is included. Further, the UE 3 may determine whether or not the information indicating that the UL data transmission in the RRC_INACTIVE state is permitted is included in the RRC Release message (for example, SuspendConfig).
- the RRC Release message for example, SuspendConfig
- UE3 when UE3 is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, when the upper layer (Non-access stratum (NAS) layer) of UE3 notifies that there is data to be transmitted to the RRC layer (AS layer), the RRC layer of UE3 is in the RRC_INACTIVE state. Determine if UL data transmission is permitted in. In addition, UE3 may determine if it is allowed (or supported) in the serving cell (Camping cell in the RRC_INACTIVE state). If UE3 is allowed to send UL data in the RRC_INACTIVE state (and if it is allowed in the serving cell), it retrieves the required information from the UE context it holds and resumes RRC (connection). Start the request procedure.
- NAS Non-access stratum
- UL data is transmitted by the third message (Msg3), and the 2-step random access (2-Step) is performed.
- RA When the procedure is performed, UL data is transmitted in the data part (MsgA payload) of the first message.
- the RRCResumeRequest message sent together with the UL data has a Cause value (eg UL-data-Inactive, mo-Data-Inactive) indicating that UL data transmission is involved (or is intended for it). It may be included.
- the UE 3 receives the RRC Release message in response to the RRC Resume Request message, the UE 3 remains in the RRC_INACTIVE state.
- the setting information may include, for example, RAN area information (e.g. ran-NotificationAreaInfo) and security information (e.g. nextHopChainingCount).
- the setting information may include information indicating whether or not the UE3 is permitted to perform data transmission in the RRC Resume (in other words, whether or not the UE3 is permitted to perform the data transmission).
- the information may further indicate which of the one or more DRBs set in UE3 is allowed to transmit data in the RRC Resume.
- the UE3 can transmit the UL data in the RRC_INACTIVE state in the serving cell in which the UL data is staying at the time when the UL data is generated again.
- the RRCResume message in response to the RRCResumeRequest message, it shifts to the RRC_CONNECTED state.
- the IP address of the old gNB2 used to transfer the GTP-U / UDP / IP packets for the Xn-U interface is the Xn-C interface (GTP-C tunnel). It may be the same as the IP address of old gNB2 used to transfer XnAP / SCTP / IP packets related to (XnAP protocol). Old gNB2 may signal new gNB1 in advance to notify new gNB1 that the same IP address will be used for both the Xn-U interface and the Xn-C interface.
- the IP address of new gNB1 used to transfer GTP-U / UDP / IP packets for the Xn-U interface is XnAP / SCTP / for the Xn-C interface (XnAP protocol). It may be the same as the IP address of new gNB1 used to transfer IP packets.
- New gNB1 may signal old gNB2 in advance to notify old gNB2 that the same IP address will be used for both the Xn-U interface and the Xn-C interface.
- the above embodiment may be implemented in LTE. Specifically, the above embodiment is applied when UE3 transmits UL data in the RRC_INACTIVE state in the LTE eNB (or its sophistication) cell connected to the EPC (or its sophistication). May be good. More specifically, if neweNB receives UL data from UE3 with an RRC (connection) restart request message and the UE context of UE3 is not available in neweNB, neweNB is the second type in the X2 interface. Send a control message to old eNB. The old eNB decides whether to send UL data to the core network (i.e. EPC) via the old eNB or to send the UE context to the new eNB.
- EPC core network
- the old eNB decides to send UL data to the core network via the old eNB, it may send the TNL information of the old eNB to the new eNB.
- the new eNB may send UL data to the old eNB.
- UL data can be transmitted to the core network without moving the UE context of UE3 from old eNB to new eNB.
- new gNB1 (or new ng-eNB4), old gNB2, and UE3 described in the above embodiment is a cell selection (intra-RAT inter) between the LTE eNB cell and the ng-eNB cell by the UE.
- -It may be carried out in the system cell selection), or it may be carried out in the inter-RAT cell selection between the LTE eNB cell and the gNB cell.
