    Abstract: A method of UE prioritizing and multiplexing simultaneous sidelink relay data for Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedure in new radio (NR) system is proposed. UE can provide traffic prioritization based on traffic category when UE has simultaneous traffic from more than one traffic categories to transmit. The sidelink relay traffic prioritization is then used for transmission interface and resource selection, and data multiplexing prioritization on the basis of sidelink relay architecture. Specifically, a method on how to perform the corresponding logical channel prioritization (LCP) operation for MAC PDU multiplexing is provided. LCP restriction is considered to determine which classes of traffic can be multiplexed into the same MAC PDU together.
