UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION TRANSMISSIONS/RECEPTIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. For use in a wireless communication network, an apparatus comprising:
- a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a plurality of carrier aggregation (CA) groups with at least a first CA group (CG1) and a second CA group (CG2);
the UE comprising processing circuitry configured to;
determine whether the UE is power-limited, wherein the UE is scheduled to transmit acknowledged information in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a cell of the CG1 and uplink control information (UCI), other than the acknowledgement information, in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a cell of the CG2;
responsive to the UE being power-limited, prioritize the PUSCH for power allocation; and
transmit the PUSCH to the cell of the CG1.

Abstract
A method and apparatus provide a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a plurality of carrier aggregation (CA) groups with at least a first CA group (CG1) and a second CA group (CG2). The UE includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine whether the UE is power-limited. The UE is scheduled to transmit acknowledged information in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a cell of the CG1 and uplink control information (UCI), other than the acknowledgement information, in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a cell of the CG2. The processing circuitry is also configured to, responsive to the UE being power-limited, prioritize the PUSCH for power allocation. The processing circuitry is also configured to transmit the PUSCH to the cell of the CG1.

5. For use in a wireless communication network, an apparatus comprising:
-
a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a plurality of carrier aggregation (CA) groups with at least a first CA group (CG1) and a second CA group (CG2); the UE comprising processing circuitry configured to; determine whether the UE is power-limited, wherein the UE is scheduled to transmit acknowledgement information having a first payload in a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a cell of the CG1 and transmit acknowledgement information having a second payload in a second PUSCH or PUCCH to a cell of the CG2; responsive to the UE being power-limited, determine the larger of the first payload and the second payload; prioritize, for power allocation, the first PUSCH or PUCCH or the second PUSCH or PUCCH conveying the larger payload; and transmit the prioritized PUSCH or PUCCH. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
