Based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies, the disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services, etc.). The disclosure provides a method and apparatus for selecting data to be transmitted when data transmission occurs simultaneously in different cells. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: identifying a first uplink resource associated with data to be transmitted by a lower layer of a medium access control (MAC) entity configured with a logical channel (LCH)-based prioritization operation; identifying whether the first uplink resource does not overlap with a second uplink resource associated with a logical channel having a priority higher than a priority of the first uplink resource, wherein the second uplink resource has not been de-prioritized; identifying whether a simultaneous transmission of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is not allowed by a configuration; and in case that the first uplink resource does not overlap with the second uplink resource and the simultaneous transmission of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is not allowed by the configuration, identifying the first uplink resource as a prioritized uplink resource, wherein the configuration is associated with a simultaneous physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission with different priorities. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first uplink resource includes a dynamic uplink resource allocated by a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) or a configured scheduling (CS)-RNTI with a new data indicator (NDI) of 1, or a configured uplink resource, and wherein the second uplink resource includes a PUCCH resource for a scheduling request (SR) transmission. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the SR transmission is triggered by the logical channel. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising: identifying another SR transmission overlapped with the first uplink resource as a de-prioritized SR transmission, wherein the de-prioritized SR transmission does not include at least one SR transmission allowed for the simultaneous PUSCH and PUCCH transmission by the configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying whether a PUCCH resource for a scheduling request (SR) transmission does not overlap with an uplink-shared channel (UL-SCH) resource, wherein the UL-SCH resource has not been de-prioritized, and a priority of a logical channel that triggered the SR transmission is higher than a priority of the UL-SCH resource; identifying whether a simultaneous transmission of the PUCCH resource and the UL-SCH resource is not allowed by the configuration; and in case that the PUCCH resource does not overlap with the UL-SCH resource and the simultaneous transmission of the PUCCH resource and the UL-SCH resource is not allowed by the configuration, identifying the PUCCH resource as the prioritized uplink resource, wherein the UL-SCH resource is one of an uplink resource allocated in a random access response message, an uplink resource allocated by a temporary C-RNTI, or a payload of a message A (MSGA). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: instructing, at the MAC entity to the lower layer, to trigger a transmission based on the first uplink resource. ### Claim 7 A terminal in a wireless communication system, 8. the terminal comprising: a transceiver; and a controller configured to: identify a first uplink resource associated with data to be transmitted by a lower layer of a medium access control (MAC) entity configured with a logical channel (LCH)-based prioritization operation, identify whether the first uplink resource does not overlap with a second uplink resource associated with a logical channel having which has-a priority higher than a priority of the first uplink resource, wherein the second uplink resource has not been de-prioritized, identify whether a simultaneous transmission of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is not allowed by a configuration, and in case that the first uplink resource does not overlap with the second uplink resource and the simultaneous transmission of the first uplink resource and the second uplink resource is not allowed by the configuration, identify the first uplink resource as a prioritized uplink resource, wherein the configuration is associated with a simultaneous physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission with different priorities. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The terminal of claim 7, wherein the first uplink resource includes a dynamic uplink resource allocated by a cell-radio network temporary identity (C-RNTI) or a configured scheduling (CS)-RNTI with a new data indicator (NDI) of 1, or a configured uplink resource, and wherein the second uplink resource includes a PUCCH resource for a scheduling request (SR) transmission. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The terminal of claim 8, wherein the SR transmission is triggered by the logical channel. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to identify another SR transmission overlapped with the first uplink resource as a de-prioritized SR transmission, and wherein the de-prioritized SR transmission does not include at least one SR transmission allowed for the simultaneous PUSCH and PUCCH transmission by the configuration. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The terminal of claim 7, wherein the controller is further configured to: identify whether a PUCCH resource for a scheduling request (SR) transmission does not overlap with an uplink-shared channel (UL-SCH) resource, wherein the UL-SCH resource has not been de-prioritized, and a priority of a logical channel that triggered the SR transmission is higher than a priority of the UL-SCH resource; identify whether a simultaneous transmission of the PUCCH resource and the UL-SCH resource is not allowed by the configuration; and in case that the PUCCH resource does not overlap with the UL-SCH resource and the simultaneous transmission of the PUCCH resource and the UL- SCH resource is not allowed by the configuration, identify the PUCCH resource as the prioritized uplink resource, and wherein the UL-SCH resource is one of an uplink resource allocated in a random access response message, an uplink resource allocated by a temporary C-RNTI, or a payload of a message A (MSGA). ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The terminal of claim 7, wherein the controller is further configured to instruct, at the MAC entity, to the lower layer, to trigger a transmission based on the first uplink resource.
