An enhanced LBT procedure (200) mitigates unnecessary delays in delivering transmissions between User Equipment and base stations over unlicensed spectrum. A UE or base station selects a particular CAPC corresponding to an intended transmission (225) based on an intelligent mapping of different types of transmission payload (e.g., transmission payload other than or in in addition to pre-defined, QoS-related UP message data payload) to different CAPCs. Most (if not all) of the mapped CAPCs corresponding to the different types of transmission payload are of a higher priority than a lowest priority CAPC (212-222), resulting in channel access procedures that are more commensurate with respective transmission payloads. The intelligent mapping may indicate different priorities among different types of transmission payload and/or different types of messages, and/or may indicate which type of transmission is to govern selection of a CAPC when multiple types of transmission payload are included in a single, intended transmission.

Provided is a path control method of controlling a path of communication in a network including a high priority device dealing with high priority traffic, a high priority control device communicating with the high priority device through a plurality of signal transfer devices transferring signals by periodically repeating a high priority signal transmissible period in which high priority traffic is transmissible and a low priority signal transmissible period in which low priority traffic is transmissible, a low priority device dealing with the low priority traffic, and a low priority control device communicating with the low priority device through the plurality of signal transfer devices, the path control method including calculating a low priority signal transmissible period in each of paths between the low priority device and the low priority control device, and performing setting for switching the path between the low priority device and the low priority control device so that the low priority traffic is transmitted in any one of the calculated low priority signal transmissible periods.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a first semi-static configuration for transmitting uplink signaling and a second semi-static configuration for receiving downlink signaling. In some cases, the UE may operate using half-duplex communications and may monitor for a transmission direction conflict between the first semi-static configuration and the second semi-static configuration during a transmission time interval. The UE may communicate, according to a priority rule, one of an uplink signal in accordance with the first semi-static configuration or a downlink signal in accordance with the second semi-static configuration during the transmission time interval based on the monitoring. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may drop one of the uplink signal or downlink signal according to the priority rule.

This disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for coordinating communication and avoiding and/or mitigating collisions for multi-subscriber identity module devices in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may coordinate communication associated with different subscriber identity modules and/or may mitigate collisions between communications associated with different subscriber identity modules. A network may provide information to improve coordination and/or mitigate collisions. A network may adjust paging schedules and/or provision of alert messages to improve coordination.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In one example, a base station may dynamically configure a user equipment (UE) to monitor or avoid monitoring for a preemption indication. Accordingly, the UE may have a lower chance of monitoring for a preemption indication when it is unlikely that an uplink or downlink transmission will be preempted. In another example, a base station may transmit a control message indicating whether future indications received from the base station are to be interpreted as preemption indications or permission indications. Accordingly, the base station may choose to use either preemption indications or permission indications (e.g., based on the probability of collisions between mobile broadband (MBB) and low latency transmissions) to facilitate MBB and low latency communication multiplexing with limited signaling.

In one embodiment, an operation method of a relay UE in a wireless communication system is a method comprising: comparing a transmission priority value with a first priority value; and performing sidelink transmission/reception on the basis of the comparison result, wherein the transmission priority value is compared with a reception priority value on the basis of the fact that the transmission priority value is smaller than the first priority value, and an operation corresponding to a smaller value from among the transmission priority value and the reception priority value is performed.

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes circuitry configured to determine that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with low priority (LP) overlaps with a high priority (HP) PUCCH carrying a HP hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) and a HP PUCCH with a positive HP scheduling request (SR). The HP PUCCH with HP HARQ-ACK does not overlap with the HP PUCCH with the positive HP SR. The circuitry is further configured to multiplex a LP HARQ-ACK only with the HP HARQ-ACK.

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes circuitry configured to determine that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with low priority (LP) carrying a LP hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) overlaps with more than one high priority (HP) PUCCHs carrying HP HARQ-ACKs. The circuitry is also configured to, when only radio resource control (RRC) configuration is used for enabling and disabling uplink control information (UCI) with different priorities, allow the LP HARQ-ACK to multiplex with the HP HARQ-ACK of the first overlapping HP PUCCH only.
