    Abstract: The present application relates to small data transmission (SDT). In an example, SDT is available for transferring information between a UE and a network, where a NAS layer of the UE is in a 5GMM-CONNECTED mode with an RRC inactive indication and an AS layer of the UE is in an RRC_INACTIVE state. To do so, the UE can be pre-configured to classify the information as qualifying for SDT. In addition, resources can be pre-configured for the SDT. For instance, the UE can maintain a set of radio bearers in a suspended state. While the NAS layer is in the 5GMM-CONNECTED mode with the inactive indication and the AS layer is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, one or more of the pre-configured resources can be used to transmit the information between the UE and the network.

    Abstract: User equipment devices (UEs) and methods are described for performing single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI)-aware public land mobile network (PLMN) selection in a roaming scenario. A mapping list is received that includes a mapping of a plurality of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) to corresponding S-NSSAI values. The mapping list is received from a home PLMN (HPLMN) of the UE over non-3rd generation partnership (non-3GPP) access, from a server, or from a Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) subscriber identity module (USIM) of the UE. An available PLMN is determined that is mapped to a preferred S-NSSAI value of the UE based on the mapping list. A connection is established with the available PLMN.
