1. A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
during a first transmission and based on a first uplink control information of the first transmission being assigned a first priority, transmitting the first uplink control information and first data with a same first modulation and coding scheme and a same first modulation order as each other;
prior to a second transmission, receiving, a downlink transmission indicating that second uplink control information to be transmitted in the second transmission is assigned a second priority that is higher than the first priority; and
performing the second transmission based on the indication of the assignment of the second priority by:
applying to the second uplink control information a predefined maximum modulation order lower than the first modulation order by selecting a second modulation order for the second uplink control information (a) according to a condition that the selected second modulation order not exceed the predefined maximum modulation order and (b) that is lower than the first modulation order; and
transmitting, in the second transmission:
the second uplink control information with the selected second modulation order and using a second modulation and coding scheme; and
second data with the first modulation order and using the first modulation and coding scheme.
