Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method performed at UE, comprising: receiving a UL grant from a base station, wherein the UL grant comprises information related to uplink resources allocated to the UE by the base station; obtaining a priority order, configured for the UE by the base station based on at least one of an uplink resource type, an uplink resource scheduling mode, and an uplink resource transmission mode, of a plurality of logical channels to which the uplink resources allocated in the UL grant are applicable; if a BSR carried in a MAC CE does not comprise buffer status information of a logical channel having a highest priority, then setting a priority of the MAC CE carrying the BSR to be lower than a priority of data from the logical channel having the highest priority; and according to the set priority order of the data and the MAC CE, sequentially assembling the data and the MAC CE into a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) for transmission on the allocated uplink resources. The present disclosure further provides corresponding UE, a corresponding base station, and a computer-readable medium.

Claims (12)

1. A user equipment, comprising:

a processor; and

memory in electronic communication with the processor, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to:

receive a Downlink control Information (DCI) which includes an uplink resource assignment corresponding to an uplink grant (UL grant) and a priority information;

determine a logical channel applicable for the UL grant based on the priority information;

in a case there is a MAC CE carrying information related to beam, set a priority order between a data from the logical channel and the MAC CE, in the priority order, the priority of the MAC CE being higher than the priority of the data from the logical channel other than the data from an uplink common control channel; and

according to the priority order of the data from the logical channel and the MAC CE, assemble the data and the MAC CE into a MAC protocol data unit (PDU).

2. A method performed by UE comprising:

receiving a Downlink control Information (DCI) which includes an uplink resource assignment corresponding to an uplink grant (UL grant) and a priority information;

determining a logical channel applicable for the UL grant based on the priority information;

in a case there is a MAC CE carrying information related to beam, setting a priority order between a data from the logical channel and the MAC CE, in the priority order, the priority of the MAC CE being higher than the priority of the data from the logical channel other than the data from an uplink common control channel; and

according to the priority order of the data from the logical channel and the MAC CE, assembling the data and the MAC CE into a MAC protocol data unit (PDU).
