Systems and method for addressing collisions in wireless communications

A half-duplex user equipment (HD-UE) operating in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell, the HD-UE comprising:

• interface circuitry configured to:
• receive a first schedule of a downlink channel/signal and a second schedule of an uplink channel/signal, wherein the uplink channel/signal overlaps with the downlink channel/signal;
• and
• at least one processor comprising processor circuitry, the processor circuitry configured individually and/or collectively to:
• make a first determination, in a case that a configuration indicating for a reduced capability (RedCap) in the NTN cell is received, whether to transmit the uplink channel/signal based on the configuration, and
• make a second determination, in a case that the configuration is not received, whether to transmit the uplink channel/signal based on a temporal order of the first schedule of the downlink channel/signal.

A method performed by a half-duplex user equipment (HD-UE) operating in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell, the method comprising:

• receiving a first schedule of a downlink channel/signal and a second schedule of an uplink channel/signal, wherein the uplink channel/signal overlaps with the downlink channel/signal;
• making a first determination, in a case that a configuration indicating for a reduced capability (RedCap) in the NTN cell is received, whether to transmit the uplink channel/signal based on the configuration;
• and
• making a second determination, in a case that the configuration is not received, whether to transmit the uplink channel/signal based on a temporal order of the first schedule of the downlink channel/signal.

A half-duplex base station apparatus operating in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell, the half-duplex base station apparatus comprising:

• interface circuitry configured to:
• transmit a first schedule of a downlink channel/signal and a second schedule of an uplink channel/signal, wherein the uplink channel/signal overlaps with the downlink channel/signal;
• and
• at least one processor comprising processor circuitry, the processor circuitry configured individually and/or collectively to:
• make a first determination, in a case that a configuration indicating for a reduced capability (RedCap) in the NTN cell is provided, whether to transmit the uplink channel/signal based on the configuration, and
• make a second determination, in a case that the configuration is not provided, whether to transmit the uplink channel/signal based on a temporal order of the first schedule of the downlink channel/signal.
