    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for small data transmission (SDT). The method comprises in accordance with a determination that a first condition related to Small Data Transmission (SDT) is met, determining a target identifier associated with an inactive state of the first device; and transmitting, to the second device, a first message for the SDT comprising the target identifier. By using an I-RNTI determined based on the SDT type, which may be the short I-RNTI or a new I-RNTI even shorter than the short I-RNTI, bits can be saved and used for UL data that can be transmitted while respecting a maximum SDT data threshold configured by the network device.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for access management for reduced capability (RedCap) devices. A method may include acquiring system information from a cell. In some example embodiments, the system information may provide a control resource set zero configuration. The method may also include monitoring a physical downlink control channel based on the control resource set zero configuration. The method may further include receiving, from the physical downlink control channel, downlink control information that indicates a resource allocation for a system information block. In addition, the method may include determining, from the resource allocation whether the cell is barred.

    Abstract: There are provided apparatuses, methods and computer program products. In accordance with an embodiment, there is disclosed a method comprising defining at least one message length related criterium comprising at least a minimum data volume threshold; determining whether transmission of a message using a small data transmission procedure in an inactive state of the user equipment is allowed; and providing the user equipment indication of the usage of the at least one message length related criterium. There is also disclosed a method comprising obtaining at least one message length related criterium comprising at least a minimum data volume threshold; preparing at least one message to a message buffer of the user equipment to be transmitted by a small data transmission procedure in an inactive state of the user equipment; comparing a length of data in the message buffer with the at least one message length related criterium; n constructing a packet from the data in the message buffer for transmission; and transmitting the packet by the small data transmission procedure if the length fulfils the at least one message length related criterium.

    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transmit power control for beam management. The first device transmits a first configuration to a second device. The first configuration indicates information about at least one candidate beam assigned to the second device. Alternatively, or in addition, the first configuration further indicates a correspondence between the at least one candidate beam and a plurality of transmission occasions, where the plurality of transmission occasions are allocated by the first device for transmission from the second device to the first device while the second device is in an inactive mode. The first device detects transmissions from the second device according to the first configuration at the plurality of transmission occasions. Through this solution, a beam management solution and efficient resource configuration for a device in an inactive mode is proposed.
