Channel dropping behavior and timing relationships for uplink channel collision with different priorities
A user equipment (UE) is described that includes a higher layer processor configured to determine that a high-priority channel collides with a low-priority channel. The high-priority channel and the low-priority channel are uplink channels. The higher layer processor is also configured to drop at least a portion of the low-priority uplink channel. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the high-priority channel.
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine that a transmission of a first uplink channel with a high-priority overlaps in time domain with a transmission of a second uplink channel with a low-priority, and
cancel the transmission of the second uplink channel with the low-priority before a first symbol of the second uplink channel with the low-priority, the first symbol being a symbol from which the second uplink channel with the low-priority overlaps with the first uplink channel with the high-priority; and
transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the first uplink channel with the high-priority, wherein
a starting timing of cancelling the transmission of the second uplink channel is determined based on a processing time for scheduling and based on a UE capability, and
the processing time starts after the UE receives downlink control information (DCI) for the scheduling and ends before the UE transmits the first uplink channel.
2. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
determining that a transmission of a first uplink channel with a high-priority overlaps in time domain with a transmission of a second uplink channel with a low-priority;
cancelling the transmission of the second uplink channel with the low-priority before a first symbol of the second uplink channel with the low-priority, the first symbol being a symbol from which the second uplink channel with the low-priority overlaps with the first uplink channel with the high-priority; and
transmitting the first uplink channel with the high-priority, wherein
a starting timing of cancelling the transmission of the second uplink channel is determined based on a processing time for scheduling and based on a UE capability, and
the processing time starts after the UE receives downlink control information (DCI) for the scheduling and ends before the UE transmits the first uplink channel.
3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein
the processing time is determined based on whether the first uplink channel is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
