Claim 9:
10. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a next generation Node B (gNB) to:
encode, for transmission to a user equipment (UE), physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configuration information for a plurality of pre-allocated uplink resource (PUR) sets that are available for the UE to use for transmission of PUSCHs without transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to access an associated cell, wherein individual PUR sets of the plurality of PUR sets include one or more PUSCH resources or occasions, and wherein the individual PUR sets are associated with respective modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) and/or transport block sizes (TBSs); and
receive, from the UE while the UE is in a RRC_IDLE state or a RRC_INACTIVE state, a PUSCH transmission in one or more PUSCH resources or occasions of a first PUR set that is associated with an MCS and/or TBS of the PUSCH transmission, wherein the PUSCH transmission is received without receipt of a corresponding PRACH preamble.
