Technology for communicating a small data set between a user equipment (UE) and an evolved node B (eNB). A channel condition of a downlink channel with the eNB may be determined at the UE. A channel condition indication based on the channel condition may be communicated to the eNB. The small data may be transmitted to the eNB using a signaling radio bearer (SRB) when the channel condition is greater than a selected threshold.
