Communications methods and infrastructure equipment for providing an indication of data transmission without a radio connection
摘要
說(shuō)明書
There has also been described a method (and corresponding apparatus and integrated circuitry) for receiving data, e.g. transmitted by an infrastructure equipment or other element, in a wireless communications network to a communications device, the method comprising: receiving a paging message; in response to receiving the paging message, transmitting by the communications device a random access request; receiving an indication of communications resources allocated for a transmission to the communications device and an indication that the transmission comprises data to be transmitted while the communications device is not in a radio resource connected mode, the indication of communications resources allocated for a transmission to the communications device and an indication that the transmission comprises data to be transmitted while the communications device is not in a radio resource connected mode being transmitted in response to the random access request, and receiving the data using the allocated communications resources.
It will be appreciated that while the present disclosure has in some respects focused on implementations in an LTE-based and/or 5G network for the sake of providing specific examples, the same principles can be applied to other wireless telecommunications systems. Thus, even though the terminology used herein is generally the same or similar to that of the LTE and 5G standards, the teachings are not limited to the present versions of LTE and 5G and could apply equally to any appropriate arrangement not based on LTE or 5G and/or compliant with any other future version of an LTE, 5G or other standard.
