Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes a processor configured to determine a dropping timeline for low priority channel dropping when a low priority channel collides with a high priority physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK). The processor is also configured to determine a processing delay for the high priority PUCCH when the low priority channel collides with the high PUCCH. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK based on the dropping timeline and the processing delay.

Claims (17)

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine a dropping timeline for low priority channel dropping when a low priority channel collides with a high priority physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK), and

determine a processing delay for the high priority PUCCH when the low priority channel collides with the high priority PUCCH; and

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the high priority PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK based on the dropping timeline and the processing delay,

wherein, for a high priority physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), the low priority channel is dropped after a number of PDSCH processing time symbols (N 1 ) and a number of dropping delay symbols (d 1,1 ) after an end of a PDSCH transmission.

2. A base station (gNB), comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine a dropping timeline for low priority channel dropping when a low priority channel collides with a high priority physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK), and

determine a processing delay for the high priority PUCCH when the low priority channel collides with the high priority PUCCH; and

receiving circuitry configured to receive the high priority PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK based on the dropping timeline and the processing delay,

wherein, for a high priority physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), the low priority channel is dropped after a number of PDSCH processing time symbols (N 1 ) and a number of dropping delay symbols (d 1,1 ) after an end of a PDSCH transmission.

3. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

determining a dropping timeline for low priority channel dropping when a low priority channel collides with a high priority physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK);

determining a processing delay for the high priority PUCCH when the low priority channel collides with the high priority PUCCH; and

transmitting the high priority PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK based on the dropping timeline and the processing delay,

wherein, for a high priority physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), the low priority channel is dropped after a number of PDSCH processing time symbols (N 1 ) and a number of dropping delay symbols (d 1,1 ) after an end of a PDSCH transmission.
