Abstract

A user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) for a mobile communication system are provided. The UE divides a plurality of uplink radio resources into at least one group and determines whether there exist pieces of uplink information corresponding to the uplink radio resources. When the corresponding pieces of the uplink information exist, the UE determines whether there exist overlapped periods in the time domain among the corresponding uplink radio resources. For any two of the corresponding uplink radio resources having the overlapped period, the UE decides how to transmit the corresponding pieces of uplink information based on whether the two of the corresponding uplink radio resources belonging to the same group or not, whether the corresponding pieces of uplink information can be jointly transmitted or not, and the priorities of the uplink information.

Dependent claims

A user equipment (UE) for a mobile communication system, comprising:

a storage;
a transceiver;
and
a processor electrically connected to the storage and the transceiver, being configured to execute the operations, comprising:
determining that there are a plurality of uplink radio resources and dividing the uplink radio resources into at least one group;
determining whether there exists a piece of first uplink information corresponding to a first uplink radio resource of the uplink radio resources;
determining whether there exists a piece of second uplink information corresponding to a second uplink radio resource of the uplink radio resources;
determining whether an overlapped period exists in a time domain between the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource when the first uplink information and the second uplink information exist at the same time;
determining whether the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource belong to a first group of the at least one group when the overlapped period exists;
determining whether the first uplink information and the second uplink information can be jointly transmitted;
transmitting, via the transceiver, the first uplink information and the second uplink information on one of the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource when the first uplink information and the second uplink information can be jointly transmitted;
and
transmitting, via the transceiver, one of the first uplink information and the second uplink information on one of the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource based on a priority decision when the first uplink information and the second uplink information cannot be jointly transmitted or when only one of the first uplink information and the second uplink information belongs to the first group.

and
a processor electrically connected to the storage and the transceiver, being configured to execute the operations, comprising:
determining that there are a plurality of uplink radio resources and dividing the uplink radio resources into at least one group;
determining that there exists an overlapped period between a first uplink radio resource and a second uplink radio resource of the uplink radio resources in a time domain;
determining whether the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource belong to a same group of the at least one group;
determining whether a piece of first uplink information corresponding to the first uplink radio resource and a piece of second uplink information corresponding to the second uplink radio resource can be jointly transmitted on one of the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource;
determining whether a first uplink signal on the first uplink radio resource is received via the transceiver;
determining whether a second uplink signal on the second uplink radio resource is received via the transceiver;
decoding the first uplink signal to obtain the first uplink information or obtain the first uplink information and the second uplink information at the same time when only receiving the first uplink signal on the first uplink radio resource and the first uplink information and the second uplink information can be jointly transmitted on the first uplink radio resource;
decoding the second uplink signal to obtain the first uplink information or obtain the first uplink information and the second uplink information at the same time when only receiving the second uplink signal on the second uplink radio resource and the first uplink information and the second uplink information can be jointly transmitted on the second uplink radio resource;
and
decoding the second uplink signal to obtain the second uplink information if the first uplink radio resource and the second uplink radio resource does not belong to the same group when receiving the first uplink signal on the first uplink radio resource and receiving the second uplink signal on the second uplink radio resource, wherein only the second uplink radio resource has the second uplink signal during the overlapped period.
