Abstract

According to certain embodiments, a method by a wireless device is provided for performing logical channel prioritization (LCP) by a wireless device. The method includes selecting a set of logical channels based on one or more logical channel restrictions. The method further includes determining at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels to serve.

Claims (31)

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

receiving, from a network node, a logical channel configuration, the logical channel configuration comprising a channel-specific priority, the channel-specific priority associated with a logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration;

receiving, from the network node, a dynamic grant that includes a physical layer configuration for a transmission by the UE and a priority level, wherein the physical layer configuration together with the priority level provide a transmission profile for serving one or more logical channels; and

serving the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration according to the physical layer configuration of the dynamic grant based on mapping the priority level in the dynamic grant to the channel-specific priority associated with the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission by the UE comprises an uplink transmission from the UE to a network node.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein serving the logical channel comprises:

for the transmission by the UE, serving the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration according to the physical layer configuration based on the dynamic grant that includes the physical layer configuration and the priority level that maps to the channel-specific priority associated with the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration; and

for another transmission by the UE, serving the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration according to another physical layer configuration based on another dynamic grant that includes said other physical layer configuration and a priority level for said other physical layer configuration that maps to the channel-specific priority associated with the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical layer configuration comprises a configuration for one or more of:

a transmission power;

a power boosting;

a duration of the transmission;

a subcarrier spacing;

a modulation-and-coding scheme; or

a set of resource blocks to transmit upon.

5 . A wireless device, comprising:

processing circuitry, the processing circuitry operable to:

receive, from a network node, a logical channel configuration, the logical channel configuration comprising a channel-specific priority, the channel-specific priority associated with a logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration;

receive, from the network node, a dynamic grant that includes a physical layer configuration for a transmission by the UE and a priority level, wherein the physical layer configuration together with the priority level provide a transmission profile for serving one or more logical channels; and

serve the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration according to the physical layer configuration of the dynamic grant based on mapping the priority level in the dynamic grant to the channel-specific priority associated with the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration.

6 . The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the transmission by the wireless device comprises an uplink transmission from the wireless device to a network node.

7 . The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein to serve the logical channel the processing circuitry is operable to:

for the transmission by the UE, serve the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration according to the physical layer configuration based on the dynamic grant that includes the physical layer configuration and the priority level that maps to the channel-specific priority associated with the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration; and

for another transmission by the UE, serve the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration according to another physical layer configuration based on another dynamic grant that includes said other physical layer configuration and a priority level for said other physical layer configuration that maps to the channel-specific priority associated with the logical channel configured by the logical channel configuration.

8 . The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the physical layer configuration comprises a configuration for one or more of:

a transmission power;

a power boosting;

a duration of the transmission;

a subcarrier spacing;

a modulation-and-coding scheme; or

a set of resource blocks to transmit upon.
