Handling downlink and uplink collisions in half duplex frequency division duplex user equipment

A communication device adapted to perform according to:

• receive a downlink (DL) reception and transmitting an uplink (UL) transmission, wherein there is a collision between the DL reception and the UL transmission;
• prioritize for processing the DL reception or the UL transmission by applying a particular prioritization rule of a plurality of prioritization rules depending upon a type of the DL reception and/or the UL transmission;
• process the DL reception or the UL transmission in response to applying the particular prioritization rule, wherein prioritizing for processing the DL reception or UL transmission comprises prioritizing a dynamically scheduled DL reception by a user equipment (UE) in response to the UE being dynamically scheduled with the DL reception and semi-statically configured with a UL transmission occasion which overlap in time;
• and
• cancel the UL transmission if the UL transmission occasion starts later than Tproc, 2 after an end of a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the DL reception.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium including program code to be executed by processing circuitry of a communication device, whereby execution of the program code causes the communication device to perform operations according to:

• receive a downlink (DL) reception and transmitting an uplink (UL) transmission, wherein there is a collision between the DL reception and the UL transmission;
• prioritize for processing the DL reception or the UL transmission by applying a particular prioritization rule of a plurality of prioritization rules depending upon a type of the DL reception and/or the UL transmission;
• process the DL reception or the UL transmission in response to applying the particular prioritization rule, wherein prioritizing for processing the DL reception or UL transmission comprises prioritizing a dynamically scheduled DL reception by a user equipment (UE) in response to the UE being dynamically scheduled with the DL reception and semi-statically configured with a UL transmission occasion which overlap in time;
• and
• cancel the UL transmission if the UL transmission occasion starts later than Tproc, 2 after an end of a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the DL reception.
