Claim 16:
17. A method implemented in a user device, the method comprising:
selecting a preamble, or a physical-layer random-access channel (PRACH) occasion, associated with a first time span for the user device to transmit at least a data portion of a random-access procedure message to a base station;
receiving, from the base station, a message that grants the user device an occasion to transmit uplink data to the base station on a physical-layer uplink channel (PUSCH) occasion that includes a second time span;
determining that the first time span overlaps the second time span; and
only one of (i) transmitting at least the data portion of the random-access procedure message to the base station during the first time span, or (ii) transmitting the uplink data to the base station during the second time span, based on a transmission precedence of (i) at least the data portion of the random-access procedure message and (ii) the uplink data,
wherein the PUSCH occasion is a second PUSCH occasion that includes the second time span, and wherein determining that the first time span overlaps the second time span includes determining that the selected preamble or the selected PRACH occasion is associated with a first PUSCH occasion that includes the first time span.
