1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE) in a RRC_CONNECTED state, a control message that releases the UE from the RRC_CONNECTED state and comprises first configuration information for an uplink (UL) bandwidth part (BWP) for UL data communications in a RRC_INACTIVE state and second configuration information for a downlink (DL) BWP for DL data communications in the RRC_INACTIVE state;
transitioning, by the UE in the RRC_CONNECTED state, to the RRC_INACTIVE state;
performing, by the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the UL data communications using the UL BWP; and
performing, by the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state, DL data communications using the DL BWP.
