Claim 10:
11. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more processors; and
at least one memory coupled to the one or more processors, the at least one memory storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the UE to:
transition to a first sub-state of a radio resource control (RRC) inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state in response to determining that the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state and fails to find any suitable cell during a cell reselection evaluation process;
attempt to find a suitable cell in response to determining that the UE is in the first sub-state of the RRC_INACTIVE state;
transition to an RRC_IDLE state in response to determining that the UE fails to find the suitable cell and camps on an acceptable cell; and
discard RRC_INACTIVE related information in response to the transitioning to the RRC_IDLE state, wherein
the RRC_INACTIVE related information comprises a short inactive radio network temporary identifier (I-RNTI) and UE Inactive context.
