Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of transmitting a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Especially, the method includes the steps of generating a first MAC PDU including at least one MAC Control Element (CE) and a first data; receiving an uplink grant for transmitting a second data, wherein a transmission time of the first data overlaps with a transmission time of the second data, and wherein a priority of the second data is higher than a priority of the first data; generating a second MAC PDU including the at least one MAC CE and the second data; and transmitting the second MAC PDU.

Claims (35)

1. A method for transmitting a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprises:

generating a first MAC PDU including at least one MAC Control Element (CE) and a first data;

receiving an uplink grant for transmitting a second data, wherein a transmission time of the first data overlaps with a transmission time of the second data, and wherein a priority of the second data is higher than a priority of the first data;

generating a second MAC PDU including the at least one MAC CE and the second data; and

transmitting the second MAC PDU.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the second MAC PDU comprises updating the at least one MAC CE based on a latest state of the UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the second MAC PDU comprises removing the at least one MAC CE from the first MAC PDU.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink grant does not schedule the at least one MAC CE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the first MAC PDU comprises delivering the first MAC PDU to a lower layer.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink grant is a configured grant or a dynamic grant.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority of second data is the highest priority of logical channels that are multiplexed or can be multiplexed in the second MAC PDU.

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

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

generating a first Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including at least one MAC Control Element (CE) and a first data;

receiving an uplink grant for transmitting a second data, wherein a transmission time of the first data overlaps with a transmission time of the second data, and wherein a priority of the second data is higher than a priority of the first data;

generating a second MAC PDU including the at least one MAC CE and the second data; and

transmitting the second MAC PDU.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein generating the second MAC PDU comprises updating the at least one MAC CE based on a latest state of the UE.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein generating the second MAC PDU comprises removing the at least one MAC CE from the first MAC PDU.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the uplink grant does not schedule the at least one MAC CE.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein generating the first MAC PDU comprises delivering the first MAC PDU to a lower layer.

13. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

generating a first Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including at least one MAC Control Element (CE) and a first data;

receiving an uplink grant for transmitting a second data, wherein a transmission time of the first data overlaps with a transmission time of the second data, and wherein a priority of the second data is higher than a priority of the first data;

generating a second MAC PDU including the at least one MAC CE and the second data; and

transmitting the second MAC PDU.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing at least one computer program comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for a user equipment (UE), the operations comprising:

generating a first Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including at least one MAC Control Element (CE) and a first data;

receiving an uplink grant for transmitting a second data, wherein a transmission time of the first data overlaps with a transmission time of the second data, and wherein a priority of the second data is higher than a priority of the first data;

generating a second MAC PDU including the at least one MAC CE and the second data; and

transmitting the second MAC PDU.
