Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify one or more time slots in which a first communication on a multi-slot physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) overlaps with a second communication on another PUCCH. The UE may transmit, for each time slot of the one or more time slots, the first communication or the second communication based at least in part on a first priority assigned to the multi-slot PUCCH and a second priority assigned to the other PUCCH. Numerous other aspects are provided.
