Claim 14:
15. A user device comprising one or more processors configured to:
select 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;
receive, 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;
determine that the first time span overlaps the second time span; and
only one of (i) transmit at least the data portion of the random-access procedure message to the base station during the first time span, or (ii) transmit 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 one or more processors are configured to:
when the transmission precedence is a first transmission precedence, transmit at least the data portion of the random-access procedure message to the base station during the first time span, and abort or delay transmission of the uplink data to the base station; and
when the transmission precedence is a second transmission precedence different from the first transmission precedence, transmit the uplink data to the base station during the second time span, and abort or delay transmission of at least a portion of the random-access procedure message.
