Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of user equipment (UE), the instructions to configure the UE for small data transmission (SDT) in a Fifth Generation New Radio (5G NR) network, and to cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
detecting while in a Radio Resource Control Inactive (RRC_Inactive) state, a radio link failure during a first SDT of uplink (UL) data to a base station;
generating a secure key for a second SDT based on the radio link failure;
encoding a configuration message for transmission to the base station, the configuration message including an indication of the second SDT;
decoding a response message from the base station, the response message including a UL grant; and
encoding the UL data for the second SDT, the UL data encoded using the secure key, and the second SDT performed using the UL grant while the UE is in the RRC_Inactive state.
