1. A base station (BS) comprising memory and a processor configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving an initial data transmission from a user equipment (UE) when the UE is in an RRC_INACTIVE state without the UE transitioning to an RRC_CONNECTED state;
transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for a UE dedicated scheduling for a transmission or reception of a subsequent data during an active period, while the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state;
transmitting an indication of a measurement configuration associated with the UE in an RRC_INACTIVE state, the measurement configuration comprising at least a predetermined threshold of a radio quality that triggers a measurement event; and
receiving or transmitting the subsequent data using the transmitted PDCCH based on the UE dedicated scheduling.
