Abstract: Embodiments include methods, performed by a user equipment (UE), for uplink (UL) transmission on a shared channel in a cell of a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include determining that the shared channel is unavailable for UL transmission of pending data during a first transmission opportunity. This determination can be based on performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure on the shared channel. Such methods include determining that further data for UL transmission is available before a second transmission opportunity that is after the first transmission opportunity, and determining whether the pending data or the further data should be prioritized for UL transmission during the second transmission opportunity. This prioritization determination can be based on various factors. Such methods can also include transmitting the pending data or the further data, during the second transmission opportunity, based on the prioritization determination.
