SMALL DATA COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A node operable to support small data communications with a user equipment (UE), the node having computer circuitry configured to:
receive a channel condition indication from the UE, wherein the channel condition indication specifies a channel condition associated with a downlink communication; select a radio bearer (RB) type for receiving a small data set from the UE based on the channel condition indication; and receive the small data set from the UE using the RB type.
