     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the figures in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments, rather than all embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without inventive efforts are to be encompassed by the scope of the present disclosure. 
       FIG.  1    is a schematic diagram of an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 
     As shown in  FIG.  1   , a communication system  100  may include a terminal device  110  and a network device  120 . The network device  120  may communicate with the terminal device  110  through an air interface. Multi-service transmission is supported between the terminal device  110  and the network device  120 . 
     It should be understood that the communication system  100  is described as an example in the embodiments of the present disclosure, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the example. That is to say, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to various communication systems, such as: a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, an LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), a 5G communication system (also referred to as New Radio (NR) communication system), or a future communication system, etc. 
     In the communication system  100  shown in  FIG.  1   , the network device  120  may be an access network device that communicates with the terminal device  110 . The access network device may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area, and may communicate with the terminal device  110  (such as UE) located within the coverage. 
     The network device  120  may be a Evolutional Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, or a Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG RAN) device, or a base station (e.g., gNB) in an NR system, or a wireless controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN). Alternatively, the network device  120  may be a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, or a network device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc. 
     The terminal device  110  may be any terminal device, which includes, but is not limited to, a terminal device that adopts a wired or wireless connection with the network device  120  or other terminal devices.

Optionally, the core network device  130  may be an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) device in an LTE network, for example, a Session Management Function+Core Packet Gateway (SMF+PGW-C) device. It should be understood that the SMF+PGW-C can implement both the functions that the SMF and the PGW-C can implement. In the network evolution process, the above-mentioned core network device may be called by other names, or form a new network entity by dividing the functions of the core network, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to any of these examples.

Optionally, the wireless communication system  100  may include multiple base station devices, and the coverage of each base station device may include other numbers of terminal devices. The embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to any of these examples. 
     It can be appreciated that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a device having a communication function in a network/system may be referred to as a communication device. Taking the communication system  100  shown in  FIG.  1    as an example, the communication devices may include the network device  120  and the terminal device  110  with communication functions. The network device  120  and the terminal device  110  may be the specific devices described above, and details thereof will be omitted here. The communication devices may further include other devices in the communication system  100 , e.g., other network entities such as a network controller, a mobility management entity, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to any of these examples. 
     In addition, the terms “system” and “network” may often be used interchangeably herein. The term “and/or” as used herein only represents a relationship between correlated objects, including three relationships. For example, “A and/or B” may mean A only, B only, or both A and B. In addition, the symbol “/” as used herein represents an “or” relationship between the correlated objects preceding and succeeding the symbol. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates a schematic flowchart of a wireless communication method  200  according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method  200  may be executed by a terminal device, for example, the terminal device shown in  FIG.  1   , and by a network device, for another example, the access network device shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     As shown in  FIG.  2   , the method  200  may include a step  210 . 
     At S 210 , it is determined, based on a first channel, whether to cancel transmission of a second channel. 
     The first channel is determined based on at least one initial channel, and each initial channel of the at least one initial channel has a priority higher than a priority of the second channel. 
     For example, the terminal device or the network device may determine the first channel based on the at least one initial channel, and then determine whether to cancel the transmission of the second channel based on an overlapping situation of the first channel and the second channel. For example, if the first channel and the second channel fully or partially overlap, it is determined to cancel the transmission of the second channel. If the first channel and the second channel do not overlap, the second channel is transmitted. 
     Whether to cancel the transmission of the second channel is determined based on the first channel, and the first channel is determined based on at least one initial channel. That is, the first channel that is used to determine whether to trigger canceling transmission of the second channel is determined based on the at least one initial channel, which can ensure that the terminal device and the network device have consistent understandings of the first channel determining whether to trigger canceling transmission of the second channel, and further, can ensure normal channel transmission. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first channel and the second channel fully or partially overlap. 
     For example, the at least one initial channel and the second channel fully or partially overlap in a time domain. For example, each initial channel of the at least one initial channel and the second channel fully or partially overlap in the time domain. For another example, some initial channels of the at least one initial channel and the second channel fully or partially overlap in the time domain. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, first scheduling information for triggering the first channel is not earlier than scheduling information corresponding to any one of the at least one initial channel other than an initial channel corresponding to the first scheduling information. 
     For example, a time domain position of the first scheduling information for triggering the first channel is not earlier than a time domain position of scheduling information corresponding to any one of the at least one initial channel other than an initial channel corresponding to the first scheduling information. 
     For example, the time domain position of the scheduling information may be a time domain position of downlink scheduling information, or may be a time domain position determined based on an uplink channel. For example, the time domain position determined based on the uplink channel may be a time domain position of a semi-static or semi-persistent configured uplink channel. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first channel is directly scheduled by first scheduling information for triggering the first channel. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the at least one initial channel is transmitted by multiplexing. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first channel is determined after multiplexing or overriding of the at least one initial channel. 
     The first channel is designed to be determined after multiplexing or overriding of the at least one initial channel, which is equivalent to that the channel determined after the multiplexing or overriding of the at least one initial channel may be used as the first channel determining whether to trigger canceling the transmission of the second channel. In this way, it not only can ensure that the terminal device and the network device have the same understanding of the first channel determining whether to trigger canceling the transmission of the second channel so as to ensure the normal channel transmission, but also can preferentially ensure the normal transmission of the at least one initial channel, and accordingly, can avoid unnecessary cancellation or information discarding, to improve transmission efficiency as much as possible. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, S 210  may include: 
     determining to cancel the transmission of the second channel based on the first channel. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method  200  may further include: 
     maintaining cancellation of the transmission of the second channel in a case where a third channel and the second channel do not overlap. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, scheduling information for triggering the third channel is not earlier than first scheduling information for triggering the first channel. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, S 210  may include: 
     determining to cancel the transmission of the second channel in a case that the first channel and the second channel overlap; and/or transmitting the second channel in a case that the first channel and the second channel do not overlap. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the at least one initial channel includes a channel indicated by scheduling information and/or a channel determined by the scheduling information. 
     For example, the at least one initial channel may be directly indicated by latest scheduling information and previous scheduling information, or may be directly determined by the latest scheduling information and indirectly determined by the previous scheduling information. Optionally, the indirect determination may refer to: determining after multiplexing or overriding of an uplink channel directly determined based on scheduling information. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the channel determined by the scheduling information includes: a channel determined after multiplexing or overriding of a channel determined directly based on the scheduling information. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first channel and the second channel are uplink channels. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the uplink channel includes a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH). 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a time domain position of the first scheduling information for triggering the first channel is a time domain position of the first scheduling information or a time domain position determined based on the first channel. 
     In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the time domain position of the first scheduling information is the time domain position determined based on the first channel, and the first channel is a semi-static or semi-persistently configured uplink channel. 
     For example, a symbol preceding a symbol where the first channel is located may be determined as the time domain position of the first scheduling information.

     Optionally, whether to cancel transmission of the first low-priority uplink channel may be determined based on the third high-priority uplink channel. The third high-priority uplink channel is determined by multiplexing the first high-priority uplink channel and the second high-priority channel. 
     For example, if the third high-priority uplink channel and the first low-priority channel overlap in the time domain, the transmission of the first low-priority uplink channel is cancelled. If the third high-priority uplink channel and the first low-priority channel do not overlap in the time domain, the first low-priority uplink channel may be transmitted. 
     Optionally, the uplink channel can be PUCCH/PUSCH.
