Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to receive on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a downlink control information (DCI) format used for scheduling of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The DCI includes a priority indicator. The UE further includes transmitting circuitry configured to perform channel state information (CSI) reporting on a first physical uplink channel based on the priority indicator in a case that the first physical uplink channel overlaps with a second physical uplink channel.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A user equipment (UE) comprising: receiving circuitry configured to: receive a first downlink control information (DCI) format used for an activation of a semi-persistent Channel State information (SP-CSI) reporting on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the first DCI format including a priority indicator, and receive a second DCI format used for triggering an aperiodic Channel State information (A-CSI) reporting on a second physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and transmitting circuitry configured to perform the A-CSI reporting on the second PUSCH upon a successful decoding of the second DCI format, wherein in a case that a time occupancy of the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH overlap in at least one orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, the A-CSI reporting is prioritized over the SP-CSI reporting, and the SP-CSI reporting on the first PUSCH is not transmitted regardless of a value of the priority indicator. 2 . A base station apparatus comprising: transmitting circuitry configured to: transmit a first downlink control information (DCI) format used for an activation of a semi-persistent Channel State information (SP-CSI) reporting on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the first DCI format including a priority indicator, and transmit a second DCI format used for triggering an aperiodic Channel State information (A-CSI) reporting on a second physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and receiving circuitry configured to receive the A-CSI reporting on the second PUSCH, wherein in a case that a time occupancy of the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH overlap in at least one orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, the A-CSI reporting is prioritized over the SP-CSI reporting, and the SP-CSI reporting on the first PUSCH is not received by the receiving circuitry regardless of a value of the priority indicator. 3 . A communication method performed by a user equipment, the communication method comprising: receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) format used for an activation of a semi-persistent Channel State information (SP-CSI) reporting on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the first DCI format including a priority indicator; receiving a second DCI format used for triggering an aperiodic Channel State information (A-CSI) reporting on a second physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and performing the A-CSI reporting on the second PUSCH upon a successful decoding of the second DCI format, wherein in a case that a time occupancy of the first PUSCH and the second PUSCH overlap in at least one orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, the A-CSI reporting is prioritized over the SP-CSI reporting, and the SP-CSI reporting on the first PUSCH is not transmitted regardless of a value of the priority indicator.
