Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein efficiently address prioritization by a UE (12) regarding its reception behavior with respect to a configured downlink transmission that is overlapped by a dynamic assignment and/or the dynamic downlink transmission scheduled via the dynamic assignment. In at least one embodiment having applicability to operation of the UE (12) in a communication network based on the 5G NR specifications, the techniques disclosed herein provide for predictable behavior by the UE (12) as to when the UE (12) prioritizes a configured Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) versus another PDSCH. Correspondingly, a radio network node (22) may exploit the predictable behavior of the UE (12) to override a configured PDSCH in favor of a dynamic PDSCH, by transmitting the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) that schedules the dynamic PDSCH so that a timing relationship between the PDCCH and the configured PDSCH is satisfied.
