  • Patent number: 12756506
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes circuitry configured to determine that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with high priority (HP) carrying HP hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgements (HARQ-ACKs) overlaps with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) with low priority (LP). When only one HP PUCCH with HP HARQ-ACK overlaps with a LP PUSCH, multiplex the HP HARQ-ACK on the LP PUSCH starting from an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that is available after a first consecutive demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) OFDM symbol. When more than one HP PUCCH with HP HARQ-ACK overlaps with a LP PUSCH, for each overlapping HP PUCCH carrying the HP HARQ-ACK, multiplex a corresponding HP HARQ-ACK on confined symbols of the LP PUSCH.
