Abstract: A wireless device may communicate with a base station by using overlapping transmissions. A transmission such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission (e.g., comprising uplink control information (UCI)) may be multiplexed in a repetition of a transmission such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. Information such as a channel state information (CSI) report may be multiplexed in a repetition of a transmission such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. A rule may be applied to indicate/determine which repetition, of a plurality of repetitions, comprises multiplexed information (e.g., which PUSCH repetition comprises UCI). The rule may comprise including the multiplexed information in a transmission associated with at least one of: a lowest (or highest) frequency or range of frequencies, a lowest (or highest) starting (or ending) resource block, a lowest (or highest) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a lowest (or highest) TCI state index, a lowest (or highest) panel or panel index, and/or any other parameter/indicator that may differentiate a transmission (including the multiplexed information) from other transmission(s). A transmission such as a power headroom report may be multiplexed in a transmission such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. A rule may be applied to indicate/determine a value/parameter associated with a transmission. For example, the rule may be used to indicate/determine a value of a power headroom report that may indicate a pathloss reference signal used to determine the power headroom report. The rule may comprise indicating/determining a value/parameter associated with a transmission using at least one of: a lowest (or highest) frequency or range of frequencies, a lowest (or highest) starting (or ending) resource block, a lowest (or highest) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a lowest (or highest) TCI state index, a lowest (or highest) panel or panel index, and/or any other parameter/indicator that may differentiate transmissions. Overlapping transmissions may comprise a plurality of transmissions of a same type/channel, such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, etc. A rule may be applied to indicate/determine power prioritization for the overlapping transmissions. For example, a rule may be used to indicate which of overlapping transmissions of a same type/channel (e.g., PUSCH, PUCCH, etc.) may be dropped or transmitted using a reduced power if the overlapping transmissions would otherwise exceed a power threshold. The rule may comprise indicating/determining power prioritization for overlapping transmissions based on at least one of: a lowest (or highest) frequency or range of frequencies, a lowest (or highest) starting (or ending) resource block, a lowest (or highest) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a lowest (or highest) TCI state index, a lowest (or highest) panel or panel index, and/or any other parameter/indicator that may differentiate overlapping transmissions.
