Claim 5:
6. A wireless node, comprising:
memory comprising computer-executable instructions; and
a processing system configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the wireless node to:
receive signaling indicating downlink priority levels for downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions;
determine, based on one or more rules, a reception assumption to use when at least two of the downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions overlap in time; and
process the at least two of the downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions that overlapped in time based on the reception assumption,
(i) wherein the at least two of the downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions overlapped in time comprise physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions with different reception assumptions and different downlink priority levels, including a retransmission of a first PDSCH that was previously successfully decoded and a transmission of a second PDSCH that was not previously successfully decoded, and wherein the processing system is configured to execute computer-executable instructions and cause the wireless node to determine to use a reception assumption of the second PDSCH even if the downlink priority level of the first PDSCH is higher than the downlink priority level of the second PDSCH; or
(ii) wherein the at least two of the downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions overlapped in time comprise at least one channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) without repetition that overlaps with at least one of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission, wherein the at least one CSI-RS and the at least one of the PDCCH monitoring occasion or PDSCH transmission have different reception assumptions and different downlink priority levels, and wherein the processing system is configured to execute computer-executable instructions and cause the wireless node to determine to use a reception assumption of whichever of the at least one CSI-RS or the at least one of the PDCCH monitoring occasion or PDSCH transmission has a highest downlink priority level; or
(iii) wherein the at least two of the downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions overlapped in time comprise two or more downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions that overlap in time and are scheduled by or associated with a first control resource set (CORESET) pool index, and two or more other downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions that overlap in time and are scheduled by or associated with a second CORESET pool index, and wherein the processing system is configured to execute computer-executable instructions and cause the wireless node to apply the one or more rules to determine a reception assumption to use to process at least the two or more downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions that overlap in time and are scheduled by or associated with the first control resource set (CORESET) pool index, or the two or more other downlink transmissions and monitoring occasions that overlap in time and are scheduled by or associated with the second CORESET pool index.
