US Patent 11399408 Wireless device and wireless network processes in inactive state

A wireless device receives an RRC release message comprising first configuration parameter(s), second configuration parameter(s) and third configuration parameter(s). The first configuration parameter(s) may indicate transitioning from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state. The second configuration parameter(s) may be of a configured grant configuration associated with small data transmission in the RRC inactive state. The third configuration parameter(s) may be of a time alignment timer associated with small data transmission in the RRC inactive state. The wireless device may start the time alignment timer in response to receiving the RRC release message and based on the third configuration parameter(s). The wireless device may transmit a transport block, while in the RRC inactive state, based on radio resources of a first configured grant associated with the configured grant configuration and based on the time alignment timer running.
