1. A method of wireless communication operable at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting a first uplink transmission for a first radio access technology (RAT) utilizing a shared transmission resource;
transmitting a second uplink transmission for a second RAT utilizing the shared transmission resource; and
if the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission at least partially overlap in time, protecting the first uplink transmission in accordance with one or more radio bearer protection rules,wherein the first uplink transmission comprises at least one of a signaling radio bearer (SRB) or a data radio bearer (DRB).

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) that can maintain active connections on multiple wireless communication networks. The UE shares a transmission resource when transmitting (TX) on a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT in a time-division manual. During TX sharing, the UE provide uplink recovery and protection to one of the RATs.
