## Abstract

A wireless device may receive one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of logical channels comprising a first logical channel. The configuration parameters may indicate: a first logical channel priority for the first logical channel; and a mapping of the first logical channel to one or more transmission durations. An uplink grant indicating radio resources associated with a first transmission duration may be received. Data from the first logical channel may be multiplexed into a first transport block in response to the first transmission duration being one of the one or more transmission durations. A transmission power of the first transport block, may be adjusted based on the first logical channel priority in response to a calculated total transmission power being above a first value. The first transport block may be transmitted via the radio resources.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters for a plurality of logical channels comprising a first logical channel, wherein the configuration parameters indicate:
a first logical channel priority for the first logical channel; and
a mapping of the first logical channel to one or more transmission durations;
receiving an uplink grant indicating radio resources associated with a first transmission duration of a first cell;
multiplexing data from the first logical channel into a first transport block in response to the first transmission duration being one of the one or more transmission durations, wherein the first transmission duration overlaps in time with a configured transmission of a random access preamble via a second cell;
in response to a calculated total transmission power being above a first value, adjusting a transmission power of one of the random access preamble or the first transport block based on a power priority of the random access preamble compared with a power priority of the first transport block, wherein the power priority of the random access preamble is:
higher than the power priority of the first transport block based on the second cell, via which the random access preamble is transmitted, being a primary cell; and
lower than the power priority of the first transport block based on the second cell, via which the random access preamble is transmitted, being a secondary cell; and
transmitting the first transport block via the radio resources.
