1. A method of transmitting a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) Inactive state in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving an RRC Release message including configured grant (CG) configuration information in an RRC Connected state;
switching from the RRC Connected state to an RRC Inactive state based on the RRC Release message;
transmitting a CG-based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the CG configuration information included in the RRC Release message;
monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response to the CG-based PUSCH transmission; and
determining whether to perform retransmission of the CG-based PUSCH based on a result of the PDCCH monitoring,
wherein the CG-based PUSCH is transmitted in the RRC Inactive state, and the CG-based PUSCH is associated with a specific synchronization signal block (SSB) among SSBs broadcast in the wireless communication system, and
wherein the RRC Release message includes a UE-specific identifier related to small data transmission (SDT), and the UE monitors the PDCCH based on the UE-specific identifier related to the SDT in the RRC Inactive state, and
wherein an SDT-dedicated timer which is related to a random access procedure, is started based on the RRC Release message for switching from the RRC Connected state to the RRC Inactive state.
