Uplink transmission collision management

A user equipment, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• identify, when using carrier aggregation and a plurality of component carrier groups, first traffic associated with a first service type and second traffic associated with a second service type for concurrent transmission, wherein the user equipment is configured to reject a scheduling of the first service type and the second service type for a same component carrier group;
• and
• transmit, concurrently, the first traffic associated with the first service type using a first component carrier group of the plurality of component carrier groups, and the second traffic associated with the second service type using a second component carrier group of the plurality of component carrier groups.

A base station, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment that is using carrier aggregation and a plurality of component carrier groups, information scheduling first traffic associated with a first service type for a first component carrier group of a plurality of component carrier groups and second traffic associated with a second service type for concurrent transmission in a second component carrier group of the plurality of component carrier groups;
• and
• receive, concurrently, the first traffic associated with the first service type using the first component carrier group and the second traffic associated with the second service type using the second component carrier group.
