## Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to receive a first parameter. The receiving circuitry is also configured to receive a second parameter. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on the first parameter, the first PUCCH repetitions in first multiple slots. The transmitting circuitry is also configured to perform, based on the second parameter, the second PUCCH receptions in second multiple slot. For a case that the first PUCCH repetitions collide with the second PUCCH receptions, a priority for different types of uplink control information (UCI) is applied. Hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) has a higher priority than a scheduling request (SR) and channel state information (CSI). The SR has a higher priority than the CSI.
