Description

[0001] This document generally relates to wireless communication.

[0002] In communications beyond 5G and 6G, some promising services (e.g., extended reality XR services) are characterized by their quasi-periodicity (jitter impact), large and diverse data volumes, and strict latency requirements. In the prior art, configured grant (CG) can convey periodic data through pre-configured resources without authorization requests and additional resource authorization delays. However, due to the large and diverse data volume service characteristics, the pre-configured resources may be over-provisioned, resulting in resource waste and thus reducing resource efficiency. Therefore, how to apply CG to future services should be discussed.

[0111] In one embodiment, if the multiplexing / combining timeline is satisfied, multiplexing / combining of conflicting UCIs may be performed.

[0112] In an embodiment associated with the transmission of a new UCI, if a certain (certain) condition is satisfied, the new UCI is sent.

[0113] In some embodiments, the UE receives control signaling from a base station (BS). If the condition is satisfied, the UE sends the first information or the second information based on the control signaling.

[0114] In some embodiments, the UE receives control signaling from the BS. If the condition is satisfied, the UE sends the first information and the second information based on the control signaling.

[0115] The following aspects will be discussed in the subsequent paragraphs:

[0116] - Interpretation of the first information and the second information;

[0117] - Relationship between the first information and the second information;

[0118] - Transmission of the first information and the second information; and

[0119] - Interpretation of the condition.

[0120] Interpretation of the first information and the second information

[0121] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following or is associated therewith: resource release, resource reuse, resource recycling, scheduling idle, scheduling release, resource request, scheduling request, and cache size reporting. For example, the first information is associated with CG transmission or resources configured for CG transmission.

[0122] In one embodiment, the first information includes a resource release (message), which indicates that if / when the BS receives the first information, the resource (e.g., indicated by the resource release (message)) is released.

[0123] In one embodiment, the first information includes a resource reuse (field), which indicates that if / when the BS receives the first information, the resource (e.g., indicated by the resource reuse (field)) can be reused.

[0124] In one embodiment, the first information includes a resource recycling (field), which indicates that if / when the BS receives the first information, the resource (e.g., indicated by the resource recycling (field)) can be recycled for transmission.

[0125] In one embodiment, the first information includes a scheduling idle (field), which indicates that when the BS receives the first information, the resource is idle for scheduling.

[0126] In one embodiment, the first information includes a scheduling release (field), which indicates that if / when the BS receives the first information, the resource (e.g., indicated by the scheduling release (field)) is not scheduled.

[0127] In one embodiment, the first information includes a resource request (field), which indicates that when / if the BS receives the first information, there is a resource requirement for transmission.

[0128] In one embodiment, the first information includes a scheduling request (field), which indicates that when / if the BS receives the information, there is a scheduling requirement for transmission.

[0129] In one embodiment, the first information includes a buffer size report (field), which indicates the buffer size for one or more logical channel groups. The buffer size report (field) is used to report the buffer size to the BS to assist the BS in scheduling transmissions.

[0130] In some embodiments, the second information includes at least one of the following or is associated therewith:

[0131] - Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest - ACK (HARQ - ACK) information

[0132] - Scheduling Request (SR) information;

[0133] - Channel State Information (CSI);

[0134] - Data;

[0135] - HARQ - ACK information multiplexed with SR information (HARQ - ACK / SR).

[0136] In some embodiments, the first information may be sent by at least one of the following:

[0137] - UCI signaling (e.g., CG-UCI); or

[0138] - Media Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) signaling.

[0139] In one embodiment, the UCI signaling is a new dedicated UCI signaling, such as resource release UCI signaling, resource reuse UCI signaling, resource recycling UCI signaling, scheduling idle UCI signaling, scheduling release UCI signaling, resource request UCI signaling, scheduling request UCI signaling, or buffer size reporting UCI signaling.

[0140] In one embodiment, the UCI signaling is CG-UCI signaling.

[0141] As an alternative, the length of the CG-UCI signaling is extended by X bits, and there is an additional field for indicating the first information, where X is a positive integer. For example, the content of CG-UCI is shown in the following table:

[0142]

[0143]

[0144] Regardless of whether the UCI signaling is a new dedicated UCI signaling or an extended CG-UCI signaling, there are X bits for representing the first information, where X is a positive integer. For example, X can be designed as:

[0145] - X = 1, indicating that the field for the first information is 1 bit. In this case, the first information is represented by a flag. For example, bit '1' indicates that the first information is valid, while bit '0' indicates that the first information is invalid, or

[0146] - X > 1, indicating that the field for the first information is greater than 1 bit.

[0147] In one embodiment, the first information is represented by a bitmap, where the length of the bitmap is determined by a higher layer parameter related to the number of transmission opportunities in a time period, and each bit in the bitmap indicates the state of the corresponding transmission opportunity (ies) in that time period.

[0148] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the first information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, based on the high-layer parameter being 4, the number of transmission opportunities in this time period is determined to be 4, and the field length (i.e., X bits) is determined to be 4. For each bit in the bitmap, bit '1' indicates the corresponding transmission opportunity configured for data transmission, while bit '0' indicates the corresponding transmission opportunity not configured for data transmission (e.g., the corresponding transmission opportunity is idle or can be reused / rescheduled / released). In Figure 1 the first two transmission opportunities are for data transmission, and the bitmap is set to '1100'.

[0149] In one embodiment, the first information is represented by the number of transmission opportunities, where the length of the field (i.e., X bits) is determined by a high-layer parameter related to the number of transmissions in the time period, and the decimal value corresponding to the binary value of the field indicates the number of transmission opportunities in a state (e.g., with / without data transmission).

[0150] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the first information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the high-layer parameter indicates that the number of transmission opportunities in this time period is 4. Additionally, the length of the field (i.e., X bits) is determined to be 2. In Figure 2 the first two transmission opportunities are for data transmission, and the value of the field is set to '01'. Note that this field can indicate that there are two transmission opportunities in the state of being used for data transmission in this time period, or there are two transmission opportunities in the state of not being used for data transmission in this time period.

[0151] In one embodiment, the first information is represented by the number of transmission opportunities in a state and the start and length indicator (SLIV) value for the starting transmission opportunity, where the length of the field (i.e., X bits) is determined based on the maximum number of SLIVs, i.e., where SLIV max represents the maximum value of SLIV.

[0152] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the first information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 3 the high-layer parameter indicates that the number of transmission opportunities in this time period is 4. The length of the field is In this embodiment, the first two transmission opportunities are for data transmission (i.e., S = 0, L = 2). Therefore, the value in the field is set to '0100', indicating SLIV = 4.

[0153] In one embodiment, the rule for calculating SLIV based on S and L can be as follows:

[0154]

[0155] where N TOis the number of transmission opportunities in that time period.

[0156] In one embodiment, the first information is represented by an index indicating a corresponding entry in a dedicated table, where the dedicated table includes at least an index in one state and the corresponding number of transmission opportunities, and is determined by a higher layer parameter. The length of the field is determined by the maximum number of transmission opportunities in the dedicated table. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the first information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the dedicated table is determined by a higher layer parameter, through which up to 16 transmission opportunities can be indicated. That is, the length of the field is 4. In Figure 4 , the first two transmission opportunities are for data transmission, and the number 2 is indexed by '1' in the table. In this case, the value in the field is set to '0001', as Figure 4 shown.

[0157] Note that in the above embodiment of the first information, the transmission opportunity in one state can be a transmission opportunity with data transmission or a transmission opportunity without data transmission.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second information can be sent by at least one of the following:

[0159] - MAC CE signaling;

[0160] - UCI signaling (e.g., CG-UCI); or

[0161] - Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

[0162] The relationship between the first information and the second information

[0163] In some embodiments, the relationship between the first information and the second information refers to the relationship between the signaling configured to send the first information and the signaling or PUSCH configured to send the second information.

[0164] In some embodiments, the first information and the second information are sent by UCI signaling. The relationship between the first information and the second information is based on at least one of the following embodiments.

[0165] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is higher than the second priority of the second information.

[0166] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is lower than the second priority of the second information.

[0167] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is the same as the second priority of the second information.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first priority of the first information and / or the second priority of the second information may be determined / indicated by at least one of the following embodiments.

[0169] In one embodiment, the first priority and / or the second priority are determined by higher layer signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling) or MAC CE signaling.

[0170] For example, the first priority of the first information is determined by RRC signaling (e.g., ResourceReleaseConfig, ResourceReuseConfig, ResourceRecyclingConfig, SchedulingFreeConfig, SchedulingReleaseConfig, ResourceRequestConfig, or BufferSizeReportConfig), which has a parameter for indicating the first priority of the first information (e.g., the parameter may be phy-PriorityIndex-r18).

[0171] In one embodiment, p1 or p0 may be included in the parameter phy-PriorityIndex-r18, where p1 indicates that the first priority of the first information is a high priority, and p0 indicates that the first priority of the first information is a low priority. The second priority of the second information may be indicated as the first priority, for example, by p0 and p1 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16, or by '0' and '1' in the "priority indication" field of the DCI format. For example, the p1 priority of the first information and the p1 priority of the second information are at the same high priority. And the p0 priority of the first information and the p0 priority of the second information are at the same low priority.

[0172] In one embodiment, p2, p1, or p0 may be included in the parameter phy-PriorityIndex-r18, where p2 indicates that the first priority of the first information is an extra high priority, p1 indicates that the first priority of the first information is a high priority, and p0 indicates that the first priority of the first information is a low priority. The priorities p1 and p0 of the first information are the same as the priorities of the second signaling, for example, p0 and p1 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16, or '0' and '1' in the "priority indication" field of the DCI format. In addition, the priority indicated by p2 for the first information represents a higher priority than the priority of the second information, for example, p1 and p0 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16, or '0' and '1' in the "priority indication" field of the DCI format.

[0173] In one embodiment, p2, p1, or p0 may be included in the parameter phy-PriorityIndex-r18, where p1 indicates that the first priority of the first information is a high priority, p0 indicates that the first priority of the first information is a low priority, and p2 indicates that the first priority of the first information is between the high priority and the low priority, such as a medium priority. The priorities p1 and p0 of the first information are the same as the priorities of the second information. For example, p0 and p1 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16, or '0' and '1' in the "priority indication" field of the DCI format. And the priority p2 of the first information indicates that this priority is between the priorities indicated by p1 and p0 of the second information.

[0174] In one embodiment, the first priority and / or the second priority are determined by downlink control information (DCI) signaling.

[0175] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by DCI signaling, such as DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2. For example, DCI format 0_1 / 0_2 is the active DCI for configuring grant scheduling, where C-RNTI is used to scramble the DCI signaling, and the field "HARQ process number" and / or the field "redundancy version" are reinterpreted as all zeros. In this example, the first priority is determined by the field "priority indication" in the DCI signaling, where the parameters priorityIndicatorDCI-0-1 or priorityIndicatorDCI-0-2 in the RRC signaling are configured. The "priority indication" indicates the first priority of the first information.

[0176] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by the field "priority indication" with a 1-bit length in the DCI signaling. For example, the field indicating '1' represents that the first information is of high priority, and the field indicating '0' represents that the first information is of low priority. The high priority or low priority indicated for the first information is the same as the second priority of the second information. For example, indicated by p0 and p1 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16, or by '0' and '1' in the "priority indication" field of the DCI format.

[0177] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by a field "priority indication" with a Y-bit length in the DCI signaling. In an example where Y = 2, the field indicating '01' represents that the first information is of high priority, which is the same as the priority of the second information determined by the field "priority indication" indicating '1' or p1 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16, while the field indicating '00' represents that the first information is of low priority, which is the same as the priority of the second information determined by the field "priority information" indicating '0' or p0 in phy-PriorityIndex-r16. In addition, the field indicating '10' represents that the first information is of extra high priority, which is higher than the priority representations of '01' and '00', and the field indicating '11' represents that the first information is of ultra high priority, which is higher than

[0178] the priority representations of '10', '01' and '00'. In another example where Y = 2, the field indicating '11' represents that the first signaling is of high priority, which is the same as the priority of the second information determined by the field "priority indication" indicating '1', while the field indicating '00' represents that the first information is of low priority, which is the same as the priority of the second information determined by the field "priority information" indicating '0'. In this example, the field indicating '01' or '10' represents that the priority of the first signaling is between the high priority indicated by '11' and the low priority indicated by '00', and the priority indicated by '10' is higher than the priority indicated by '01'.

[0179] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by a predefined value. For example, the first priority of the first information is predefined as high priority (e.g., p1).

[0180] Alternatively, the first priority of the first information is predefined as low priority (e.g., p0).

[0181] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by the service type.

[0182] For example, when the first information is used for certain services (including, for example, uRLLC service or extended reality service), the first priority of the first information is high priority.

[0183] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by the information type.

[0184] For example, if the first information is a CSI report, the first information has low priority. While if the first information is other information than the CSI report, the first information has high priority.

[0185] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by radio access network awareness information.

[0186] For example, the radio access network awareness information indicates the importance of a data burst. Based on the radio access network awareness information, when the first information is for a data burst with high importance, the first information has a high priority, while when the first information is for a data burst with low importance, the first signal has a low priority.

[0187] In one embodiment, the first priority of the first information is determined by the number of resources.

[0188] For example, when the number of resources indicated by the first information is greater than or less than a threshold, where the threshold is determined by a higher layer parameter, the first information has a high priority.

[0189] In another example, there are two pieces of first information, where one piece of first information indicates more resources than the other. As a result, the first information indicating more resources has a (higher) priority.

[0190] If the above priorities are not determined, the default priority of the first information and / or the second information can be the lowest priority.

[0191] Transmission of the first information and the second information

[0192] In some embodiments, the transmission of the first information and the second information may refer to the transmission of a first signaling configured to send the first information and a second signaling or PUSCH configured to send the second information.

[0193] The transmission of the first information and the second information can be performed based on at least one of the following embodiments.

[0194] In one embodiment, the first information is discarded / cancelled.

[0195] In one embodiment, the second information is discarded / cancelled.

[0196] In one embodiment, the first information is concatenated with the second information, where the first information is before the second information.

[0197] In the embodiment where the second information is a HARQ-ACK, the concatenation is the first information plus the HARQ-ACK

[0198] In the embodiment where the second information is an SR, the concatenation is the first information plus the SR.

[0199] In the embodiment where the second information is a CSI report, the concatenation is the first information plus the CSI report.

[0200] In an embodiment where the second information is HARQ-ACK / SR, the concatenation is the first information plus HARQ-ACK / SR.

[0201] In one embodiment, the first information is concatenated with the second information, where the first information follows the second information.

[0202] In an embodiment where the second information is HARQ-ACK, the concatenation is HARQ-ACK plus the first information.

[0203] In an embodiment where the second information is SR, the concatenation is SR plus the first information.

[0204] In an embodiment where the second information is a CSI report, the concatenation is the CSI report plus the first information.

[0205] In an embodiment where the second information is HARQ-ACK / SR, the concatenation is HARQ-ACK / SR plus the first information.

[0206] In one embodiment, the first information is multiplexed into the second information.

[0207] In an embodiment where the second information is data, the first information is multiplexed into the data.

[0208] In one embodiment, the multiplexing includes rate matching or puncturing.

[0209] In one embodiment, the power offset information for rate matching or puncturing is determined based on RRC signaling.

[0210] In one embodiment, the power offset information is a β-offset. If the first information is sent via dedicated UCI signaling, the β-offset is determined by RRC signaling, e.g., ResourceReleaseConfig, ResourceReuseConfig, ResourceRecyclingConfig, SchedulingFreeConfig, SchedulingReleaseConfig, ResourceRequestConfig, or BufferSizeReportConfig. If the first information is sent via CG UCI signaling, the β-offset is reused.

[0211] In one embodiment, the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information is the Nth symbol in a symbol that is not configured to transmit a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) or UCI on a second resource of the second information, where N is a positive integer. For example, as Figure 5 shown, the Nth symbol can be the first symbol in a symbol that is not configured to transmit DMRS or UCI on a second resource of the second information.

[0212] In one embodiment, the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information is the Mth symbol after the first DMRS on the second resource of the second information, where M is a positive integer. Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 6 it, the Mth symbol can be the first symbol among the symbols after the first DMRS on the second resource of the second information.

[0213] In one embodiment, the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information is the Lth symbol after the last DMRS or the last UCI on the second resource of the second information, where L is a positive integer.

[0214] Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information includes the first symbol not configured to transmit the first DMRS in the second resource of the second information and / or the first symbol not configured to transmit the last DMRS in the second resource of the second information. The symbol between the first DMRS symbol and the subsequent DMRS symbols can be one of the resources for multiplexing the first information. In addition, the symbol between the last DMRS symbol and the last symbol of the PUSCH can be another resource for multiplexing the first information.

[0215] Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 8 it, the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information includes the first symbol not transmitting the first DMRS in the second resource of the second information and / or the last symbol not transmitting the last DMRS in the second resource of the second information. The symbol between the first DMRS symbol and the subsequent DMRS symbols can be one of the resources for multiplexing the first information, and the symbol between the last DMRS symbol and the last symbol of the PUSCH can be another resource for multiplexing the first information. Figure 8 and Figure 7 The difference between the embodiments shown in

[0216] Figure 9 A schematic diagram showing the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the starting position for multiplexing the first information into the second information includes the first symbol and / or the last symbol of the second resource of the second information.

[0217] In one embodiment, the first information and the second information are multiplexed into the PUSCH.

[0218] In one embodiment, the rate matching is based on at least one of the active RRC signaling or the active DCI signaling.

[0219] In one embodiment, joint power offset information (e.g., β offset) is used / configured for the first information and the second information, where the offset information is determined by a higher layer parameter.

[0220] In one embodiment, the power offset information (e.g., β offset) for the first information and the offset information for the second information are separate information.

[0221] In one embodiment, the multiplexing is based on an orthogonal sequence. In this embodiment, the cyclic shift information for the orthogonal sequence can be used to distinguish the first information and the second information.

[0222] In one embodiment, the first information and the second information can be transmitted separately. In other words, the transmissions of the first information and the second information are separate.

[0223] Interpretation of Conditions

[0224] In some embodiments, the condition includes whether the time domain resources of the first resource for the first information overlap with the second resource for the second information.

[0225] In one embodiment, the time domain resources for the first information refer to the time domain resources configured to transmit the first information or carry the first signaling carrying the first information. Similarly, the time domain resources for the second information refer to the time domain resources configured to transmit the second information or carry the second signaling carrying the second information.

[0226] In one embodiment where the time domain resources of the first information and the second information overlap, the first information (in the first signaling) is multiplexed with the second information (in the second signaling). In this embodiment, the first information and the second information can have the same priority or different priorities.

[0227] In one embodiment where the time domain resources of the first information and the second information overlap, if the priority of the first information is higher than that of the second information, the first information (in the first signaling) is transmitted and the second information (in the second signaling) is discarded / cancelled.

[0228] In one embodiment where the time domain resources of the first information and the second information overlap, if the priority of the first information is lower than that of the second information, the second information (in the second signaling) is transmitted and the first information (in the first signaling) is discarded.

[0229] In an embodiment where the time domain resources for the first information do not overlap with the time domain resources for the second information, the first information (in the first signaling) and the second information (in the second signaling) are transmitted separately.

[0230] In some embodiments, the condition includes the time line (condition) of the resources of the first channel and the second channel on which the second information is transmitted. In this embodiment, the second information includes HARQ-ACK associated with the first channel.

[0231] In one embodiment, the first channel may include a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the second channel may include a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a PUSCH. That is, the condition may include the time line of the PDSCH for the first information and the time line of the PUCCH or PUSCH for the second information. For example, the condition may include whether the P-th symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot does not start earlier than the symbol at T1 symbols after including the Cyclic Prefix (CP) and after the Q-th symbol of the first channel, where P, Q, and T1 are positive integers.

[0232] Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the first channel and the second channel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 10 it, the first symbol of the earliest second channel is T1 symbols after the last symbol of the first channel. Therefore, the condition is satisfied. The first information is transmitted on the second channel for transmitting the second information.

[0233] In Figure 10 it, the P-th symbol is the first symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot, and the Q-th symbol is the last symbol of the PDSCH. In addition, T1 is given by the maximum value of where for the i-th PDSCH (first channel) having a corresponding HARQ-ACK transmission on the PUCCH among the set of overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH (i.e., the second channel), where d 1，1 is selected for the i-th PDSCH, and N1 is selected based on the UE PDSCH processing capability of the i-th PDSCH and the Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) configuration μ, where μ corresponds to the minimum SCS configuration in the SCS configurations for: the PDCCH scheduling the i-th PDSCH, the i-th PDSCH, the PUCCH having a corresponding HARQ-ACK transmission for the i-th PDSCH, and all PUSCH in the set of overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH.

[0234] In one embodiment, the first channel includes a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and the second channel includes a PUCCH or a PUSCH. The condition includes a timeline condition for the PDCCH and the PUCCH or PUSCH. For example, the condition may include whether the P-th symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot starts no earlier than T2 symbols after the Q-th symbol that includes the CP and is received on the first channel, where P, Q, and T2 are positive integers.

[0235] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of a first channel and a second channel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 11 it, the first symbol of the earliest second channel is T2 symbols after the last symbol of the first channel (i.e., the PDCCH). Therefore, the condition is satisfied. The first information is transmitted on the second channel for transmitting the second information.

[0236] Specifically, in Figure 11 it, the P-th symbol is the first symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot, and the Q-th symbol is the last symbol of the PDCCH (e.g., for SPS release). In addition, T2 is given by the maximum value of where for the i-th PDCCH (first channel) providing a DCI format with a corresponding HARQ-ACK transmission on the PUCCH among the set of overlapping PUCCHs and PUSCHs (second channels), N is the symbol distance between the PDCCH and the HARQ-ACK, where μ corresponds to the minimum SCS configuration in the SCS configuration for: the PDCCH, the PUCCH with the corresponding HARQ-ACK information, and all PUSCHs in the set of overlapping PUCCHs and PUSCHs.

[0237] In one embodiment, the first channel includes a PDCCH for uplink authorization, and the second channel includes at least one of PUSCHs. The condition includes the timeline of the first channel and the second channel. For example, the condition includes whether the P-th symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot starts no earlier than T3 symbols after the Q-th symbol that includes the CP and is on the first channel, where P, Q, and T3 are positive integers.

[0238] Figure 12 A schematic diagram of a first channel and a second channel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. In Figure 12 it, the first symbol of the earliest second channel is T3 symbols after the last symbol of the first channel (i.e., the PDCCH for uplink authorization). Therefore, the condition is satisfied. The first information is transmitted on the second channel for transmitting the second information.

[0239] Specifically, in Figure 12 , the P-th symbol is the first symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot, and the Q-th symbol is the last symbol of the PDCCH (e.g., for uplink grant). Further, T3 is given by the maximum value of , where for the i-th PUSCH (second channel) among the set of overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH, d 2，1 , d 2，2 and T switch are selected for the i-th PUSCH, and N2 is selected based on the UE PUSCH processing capability of the i-th PUSCH and the SCS configuration μ, where μ corresponds to the minimum SCS configuration in the SCS configuration for: the PDCCH scheduling the i-th PUSCH, the PDCCH scheduling the PDSCH, or the PDCCH providing DCI format without scheduling the PDSCH and having the corresponding HARQ-ACK information on the PUCCH in the set of overlapping PUCCH / PUSCH, and all PUSCH in the set of overlapping PUCCH and PUSCH.

[0240] In one embodiment, the first channel includes a PDCCH for uplink grant, and the second channel does not include a PUSCH. This condition includes the timelines of the first channel and the second channel. For example, this condition includes whether the P-th symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot does not start earlier than the symbol at T4 symbols after including the CP and after the Q-th symbol of the first channel, where P, Q, and T4 are positive integers.

[0241] For example, the P-th symbol is the first symbol of the earliest second channel among a set of overlapping second channels in a time slot, and the Q-th symbol is the last symbol of the PDCCH (e.g., for uplink grant). Further, T4 is given by the maximum value of , where for the i-th PDSCH (first channel), or the i-th PDCCH providing DCI format without scheduling the PDSCH (first channel) and having the corresponding HARQ-ACK information on the PUCCH in the set of overlapping PUCCH, N2 is selected based on the UE PUSCH processing capability for the PUCCH serving cell (if configured). If the PUSCH processing capability is not configured for the PUCCH serving cell, then N2 is selected based on the UE PUSCH processing capability 1. μ is selected based on the minimum SCS configuration among the SCS configurations used for: the SCS configuration of the PDCCH scheduling the iPDSCH, or the SCS configuration of the PDCCH that provides the i-th DCI format without scheduling a PDSCH and has the corresponding HARQ-ACK information on the PUCCH in the set of overlapping PUCCHs, and that of the PUCCH serving cell.

[0242] In one embodiment, if the timelines of the first channel and the second channel are satisfied, the first information (in the first signaling) is combined / multiplexed with the second information (in the second signaling).

[0243] In some embodiments, when the first information is resource release, resource reuse, resource recovery, scheduling idle, scheduling release, or other information related to resource release, the condition includes whether the number R of used resources in the resources configured for the UE (e.g., CG resources) is less than the number S of configured CG resources, where R and S are positive integers.

[0244] In one embodiment, the number S of configured resources is determined by at least one of RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, and DCI signaling.

[0245] In one embodiment, the number R of used resources is determined by the time-domain resource allocation in a time slot, the frequency-domain resource allocation in a time slot, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level, and the number of layers in the DCI format.

[0246] In one embodiment, if the number R of used resources is less than the number S of configured resources, the first information is sent.

[0247] In one embodiment, if the number R of used resources is equal to the number S of configured resources, the first information is not sent (i.e., discarded or cancelled).

[0248] In some embodiments, the condition includes whether the number U of unused resources in the resources configured for the UE (e.g., CG resources) is equal to zero, where U is an integer.

[0249] In one embodiment, the number U of unused resources is determined by the number R of used resources and the number S of configured resources. For example, U = S - R.

[0250] In one embodiment, if U is equal to zero, the first information is not sent (i.e., discarded or cancelled).

[0251] In one embodiment, if U is greater than zero, send the first information (via the first signaling).

[0252] In some embodiments, the condition includes at least one of the following or is associated therewith:

[0253] - Whether the time domain resource for the first information overlaps with the time domain resource for the second information;

[0254] - The condition includes the time line (condition) of the resources of the first channel and the second channel on which the second information is transmitted, where the second information includes HARQ-ACK associated with the first channel;

[0256] - Whether the number U of unused resources in the resources configured for the UE (e.g., CG resources) is equal to zero, where U is an integer.

[0257] In some embodiments, when the first information is a resource request, a scheduling request, a buffer size report, or other information related to the resource request, the condition includes whether the number R of used resources in the resources configured for the UE (e.g., CG resources) is greater than the number S of configured CG resources, where R and S are positive integers.

[0258] In one embodiment, the number S of configured resources is determined by at least one of RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, and DCI signaling.

[0259] In one embodiment, the number R of used resources is determined by the time domain resource allocation in a time slot, the frequency domain resource allocation in a time slot, the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level, and the number of layers in the DCI format.

[0260] In one embodiment, if the number R of used resources is not less than the number S of configured resources, send the first information.

[0261] In one embodiment, if the number R of used resources is less than the number S of configured resources, do not send the first information (i.e., discard or cancel the first information).

[0262] In one embodiment, the condition includes the following or is associated therewith:

[0263] - Whether the time domain resource for the first information overlaps with the time domain resource for the second information; and

[0264] - The condition includes a timeline (condition) of resources of a first channel and a second channel on which second information is transmitted, where the second information includes HARQ-ACK associated with the first channel.

[0287] Figure 15 Schematic diagram of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The wireless communication system shown in the figure includes a UE and a BS. The UE is configured to receive control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) from the BS and, if conditions are met, send at least one of first information and second information based on the control signaling. Further details of the operations of the UE and / or the BS may refer to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0288] Figure 16 A flowchart of a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 16 The method shown can be used in a wireless terminal (e.g., UE) and includes the following steps:

[0289] At step 1601, control signaling is received from a wireless network node.

[0290] At step 1602, at least one of a first resource for first information or a second resource for second information is determined.

[0291] At step 1603, if a condition is satisfied, at least one of the first information on the first resource or the second information on the second resource is sent based on the control signaling.

[0292] In Figure 16 , the wireless terminal receives control signaling from a wireless network node (e.g., BS, RAN node, gNB). For example, the control signaling can be RRC signaling. Since the transmission of the first information and the second information may conflict, the UE determines at least one of a first resource for the first information or a second resource for the second information, and if the condition is satisfied, sends at least one of the first information on the first resource or the second information on the second resource based on the control signaling.

[0293] In one embodiment, the first information is associated with a CG resource. For example, the CG resource can be configured by control signaling.

[0294] In one embodiment, the first information includes at least one of a resource release field / information, a resource reuse field / information, a resource recycling field / information, a scheduling idle field / information, a scheduling release field / information, a resource request field / information, a scheduling request field / information, or a buffer size reporting field / information. Details of each field included in the first information can refer to the above embodiments.

[0295] In one embodiment, the second information includes at least one of HARQ-ACK (information), SR (information), CSI (report), data, or HARQ-ACK multiplexed with SR (HARQ-ACK / SR).

[0296] In one embodiment, the first information is sent by at least one of UCI signaling (e.g., CG UCI signaling) or MAC CE signaling.

[0297] In one embodiment, the second information is sent by at least one of MAC CE signaling, UCI signaling (e.g., CG UCI signaling), or PUSCH.

[0298] In one embodiment, at least one of a first priority of first information or a second priority of second information is determined by at least one of RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, downlink control information signaling, a predefined value, a service type, an information type, radio access network awareness information, or a resource number.

[0299] In one embodiment, if a condition is satisfied, the wireless terminal may discard / cancel the first information.

[0300] In one embodiment, if a condition is satisfied, the wireless terminal may discard / cancel the second information.
