Time-division multiplexing of uplink communications during make-before-break handover

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the UE to:
• receive a message indicating that the UE is to execute a make-before-break handover procedure;
• transmit, during the make-before-break handover procedure and based at least in part on a prioritization rule, a first uplink communication to a target base station,
• wherein the prioritization rule indicates a relative priority for different uplink communications included in a group of uplink communications, and
• wherein the group of uplink communications includes at least the first uplink communication to be transmitted by the UE to the target base station and a second uplink communication to be transmitted by the UE to a source base station during the make-before-break handover procedure;
• and
• deactivate the second uplink communication, wherein the first uplink communication is prioritized over the second uplink communication based at least in part on the second uplink communication being deactivated.
