Abstract

The disclosure provides a method performed by a second type of transceiving node in a wireless communication system, including receiving a first type of data and/or a first type of control signaling from a first type of transceiving node, and transmitting uplink control information (UCI) to the first type of transceiving node, wherein, if multiple physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs) with UCIs of different priorities overlap in a time domain, the multiple PUCCHs are multiplexed and/or prioritized.

Claims (22)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, first configuration information for multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) with different priorities;

receiving, from the base station, second configuration information indicating a subslot length for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

determining an overlapping for uplink transmissions of different priorities;

resolving a first overlapping for uplink transmissions of a same priority, wherein the uplink transmissions of the same priority include a PUCCH transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission;

after resolving the first overlapping, resolving a second overlapping for PUCCH transmissions of different priorities, wherein a PUCCH transmission of a smaller priority among the PUCCH transmissions is associated with a first overlapping slot with the subslot length for the PUCCH of a larger priority;

after resolving the second overlapping, resolving a third overlapping for a PUCCH transmission and a PUSCH transmission of different priorities; and

performing an uplink transmission to the base station.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH transmissions include a first PUCCH transmission with a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) of a smaller priority and a second PUCCH transmission, and

wherein the second PUCCH transmission includes a PUCCH transmission with a HARQ-ACK of a larger priority, or a PUCCH transmission with a HARQ-ACK and a scheduling request (SR) of a larger priority.

3. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, first configuration information for multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) with different priorities,

receive, from the base station, second configuration information indicating a subslot length for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH),

determine an overlapping for uplink transmissions of different priorities,

resolve a first overlapping for uplink transmissions of a same priority, wherein the uplink transmissions of the same priority include a PUCCH transmission and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission,

after resolving the first overlapping, resolve a second overlapping for PUCCH transmissions of different priorities, wherein a PUCCH transmission of a smaller priority among the PUCCH transmissions is associated with a first overlapping slot with the subslot length for the PUCCH of a larger priority,

after resolving the second overlapping, resolve a third overlapping for a PUCCH transmission and a PUSCH transmission of different priorities, and

perform an uplink transmission to the base station.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the PUCCH transmissions includes a first PUCCH transmission with a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) of a smaller priority and a second PUCCH transmission, and

wherein the second PUCCH transmission includes a PUCCH transmission with a HARQ-ACK of a larger priority, or a PUCCH transmission with a HARQ-ACK and a scheduling request (SR) of a larger priority.
