10 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that the sidelink transmission has precedence over the uplink transmission when a highest priority of the sidelink transmission is higher than a first priority; otherwise, determine that the sidelink transmission has no precedence over the uplink transmission.
11 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to determine that the sidelink transmission has precedence over the uplink transmission when a highest priority of the sidelink transmission is higher than a first priority and a highest priority of the uplink transmission is lower than or equal to a second priority; otherwise, determine that the sidelink transmission has no precedence over the uplink transmission.
12 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the sidelink information carried by the second uplink physical channel comprises one or more bits of sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request feedback, and a priority of sidelink transmission of the second uplink physical channel is a highest priority in priorities of the one or more bits.
13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein when a bit has an associated physical sidelink shared channel, the priority of the bit is equal to a priority of the physical sidelink shared channel, and when the bit does not have an associated physical sidelink shared channel, the bit has a lowest priority.
14 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the sidelink information carried by the second uplink physical channel comprises sidelink channel state information, and a priority of sidelink transmission of the second uplink physical channel is a priority of the sidelink channel state information.
15 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the sidelink information carried by the second uplink physical channel comprises sidelink channel state information and one or more bits of sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request feedback, and a priority of sidelink transmission of the second uplink physical channel is a highest priority in priorities of the sidelink channel state information and the one or more bits.
