Intra-UE Prioritization in Uplink Transmissions

1. An apparatus comprising:

one or more processors and a memory, the one or more processors configured to:

receive first information indicating a first uplink grant associated with a first transmission;

receive second information indicating a second uplink grant associated with a second transmission, wherein at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission comprising a scheduling request;

receive configuration information indicating a plurality of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) codebooks;

determine, based on the first information and the second information, that the first transmission and the second transmission overlap at least partially in time;

determine a first priority associated with the first transmission and a second priority associated with the second transmission based on a logical channel prioritization procedure to select logical channels whose data would be multiplexed into medium access control (MAC) layer protocol data units (PDUs) of the first uplink grant and select logical channels whose data would be multiplexed into MAC layer PDUs of the second uplink grant, wherein the first priority or the second priority is associated with a highest priority logical channel among the logical channels;

determine a first HARQ codebook for the first transmission associated with the first priority level, and a second HARQ codebook for the second transmission associated with the second priority level; and

transmit the first transmission and the second transmission based at least in part on the first priority and the second priority of the first transmission or second transmission, respectively.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors and the memory are configured to:

determine that the first priority is a priority associated with the first uplink grant and determine that the second priority is a priority associated with the second uplink grant.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors and the memory are configured to:

prioritize the first transmission over the second transmission if the first priority is higher than the second priority, or

prioritize the second transmission over the first transmission if the second priority is higher than the first priority and data associated with the second transmission has not been submitted to a physical layer.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein data for the prioritized first transmission or second transmission comprises one or more medium access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) or one or more MAC control elements (CEs).

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein data for the prioritized first transmission or second transmission is a Scheduling Request (SR).

6. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors and the memory are further configured to:

prioritize the first transmission;

cancel the second transmission;

inform the physical layer of the cancelation of the second transmission; and

informs a network that the second uplink grant is not used.

7. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors and the memory are further configured to:

prioritize the second transmission;

cancel the first transmission;

inform the physical layer of the cancelation of the first transmission; and

informs a network that first uplink grant is not used.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein informing the network that the second uplink grant is not used comprises:

sending a Scheduling Request (SR) or a Buffer Status Report to the network to request a new uplink grant for the second transmission.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the second uplink grant is for a Scheduling Request (SR), and an SR pending state is maintained for the second uplink grant.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein informing the network that first uplink grant is not used comprises:

sending a Scheduling Request (SR) or a Buffer Status Report to the network to request a new uplink grant for the first transmission.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first uplink grant is for a Scheduling Request (SR), and an SR pending state is maintained for the first uplink grant.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors and the memory are further configured to:

preempt the first transmission by the second transmission if the second priority is higher than the first priority and data for the first transmission has already been sent to a physical layer.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors and the memory are further configured to:

send, to the physical layer, second data of the second transmission with an indication to the physical layer to preempt the first transmission.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining the first priority and the second priority is based on third information indicated in downlink control information (DCI).

15. A method comprising:

receiving first information indicating a first uplink grant associated with a first transmission;

receiving second information indicating a second uplink grant associated with a second transmission, wherein at least one of the first transmission or the second transmission comprising a scheduling request;

receiving configuration information indicating a plurality of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) codebooks;

determining, based on the first information and the second information, that the first transmission and the second transmission overlap at least partially in time;

determining a first priority associated with the first transmission and a second priority associated with the second transmission based on a logical channel prioritization procedure to select logical channels whose data would be multiplexed into medium access control (MAC) layer protocol data units (PDUs) of the first uplink grant and select logical channels whose data would be multiplexed into MAC layer PDUs of the second uplink grant, wherein the first priority or the second priority is associated with a highest priority logical channel among the logical channels;

determining a first HARQ codebook for the first transmission associated with the first priority level, and a second HARQ codebook for the second transmission associated with the second priority level; and

transmitting the first transmission and the second transmission based at least in part on the first priority and the second priority of the first transmission or second transmission, respectively.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

prioritizing the first transmission over the second transmission if the first priority is higher than the second priority, or

prioritizing the second transmission over the first transmission if the second priority is higher than the first priority and data associated with the second transmission has not been submitted to a physical layer.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein data for the prioritized first transmission or second transmission comprises one or more medium access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) or one or more MAC control elements (CEs).

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein data for the prioritized first transmission or second transmission is a Scheduling Request (SR).

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the determining the first priority and the second priority is based on third information indicated in downlink control information (DCI).

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining that the first priority is a priority associated with the first uplink grant and determine that the second priority is a priority associated with the second uplink grant.
