According to one or more embodiments, a wireless device is provided. The wireless device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a first priority of UCI based at least in part on a UCI type where the UCI is preempted by a preempting scheduled uplink shared channel data transmission, and determine whether to include the UCI in the preempting scheduled data transmission based at least in part on the first priority. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wireless device, comprising: processing circuitry for determining whether uplink control information (UCI) is to be preempted, the processing circuitry configured to: determine a priority of (UCI) based on whether the UCI is one of a periodic type, semi-persistent type and aperiodic type, the periodic type and semi-persistent type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is omitted from inclusion in a preempting scheduled data transmission and the aperiodic type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is included in the preempting scheduled data transmission; and determine whether to include the UCI of the preempted scheduled data transmission in the preempting scheduled data transmission based at least in part on the determined priority. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wireless device of claim 1, wherein the UCI corresponds to a Channel State Information (CSI) type. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wireless device of claim 1, wherein the UCI corresponds to a sounding reference signal (SRS) type. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The wireless device of claim 2, wherein a plurality of bits of the UCI are multiplexed on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is pre-empted by a second PUSCH. ### Claim 5 A method performed by a wireless device, for determining whether a uplink control information (UCI) is to be preempted, the method comprising: determining a priority of UCI based on whether the UCI is one of a periodic type, semi-persistent type and aperiodic type, the periodic type and semi-persistent type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is omitted from inclusion in a preempting scheduled data transmission and the aperiodic type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is included in the preempting scheduled data transmission; and determining whether to include the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission in the preempting scheduled data transmission based at least in part on the first priority. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the UCI corresponds to a Channel State Information (CSI) type. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the UCI corresponds to a sounding reference signal (SRS) type. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein a plurality of bits of the UCI are multiplexed on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is pre-empted by a second PUSCH. ### Claim 9 A network node, comprising: processing circuitry configured to: schedule a wireless device for uplink shared channel data transmission on allocated resources, the scheduled data transmission on the allocated resources preempting uplink control information (UCI); and receive the UCI in the scheduled data transmission on the allocated resources based on a priority of the UCI, the priority being based on whether the UCI is one of a periodic type, semi-persistent type and aperiodic type, the periodic type and semi-persistent type correspond to a priority that for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is omitted from inclusion in a preempting scheduled data transmission and the aperiodic type corresponds to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is included in the preempting scheduled data transmission. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The network node of claim 9, wherein the UCI corresponds to a Channel State Information (CSI) type. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The network node of claim 9, wherein the UCI corresponds to a sounding reference signal (SRS) type. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The network node of claim 9, wherein a plurality of bits of the UCI are multiplexed on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is pre-empted by a second PUSCH. ### Claim 13 A method implemented by a network node, the method comprising: scheduling a wireless device for uplink shared channel data transmission on allocated resources, the scheduled data transmission on the allocated resources preempting uplink control information (UCI); and receiving the UCI in the scheduled data transmission on the allocated resources based on a priority of the uplink control information, the priority being based on whether the UCI is one of a periodic type, semi-persistent type and aperiodic type, the periodic type and semi-persistent type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is omitted from inclusion in a preempting scheduled data transmission and the aperiodic type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is included in the preempting scheduled data transmission. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the UCI corresponds to a Channel State Information (CSI) type. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the UCI type corresponds to a sounding reference signal (SRS) type. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein a plurality of bits of the UCI are multiplexed on a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that is pre-empted by a second PUSCH. ### Claim 17 A computer storage medium comprising instructions which when executed on a processor perform a method for determining whether a uplink control information (UCI) is to be preempted, the method comprising: determining a priority of UCI based on whether the uplink control information is one of a periodic type, semi-persistent type and aperiodic type, the periodic type and semi-persistent type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is omitted from inclusion in a preempting scheduled data transmission and the aperiodic type corresponding to a priority for which the UCI of a preempted scheduled data transmission is included in the preempting scheduled data transmission; and determining whether to include the UCI of the preempted scheduled data transmission in the preempting scheduled data transmission based at least in part on the first priority.
