1. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and
processing circuitry coupled to the transceiver and configured to, when the UE is configured to communicate with a plurality of carrier aggregation (CA) groups with at least a first CA group (CG1) and a second CA group (CG2), based on an information to be communicated, [ to: ]
prioritize and allocate a transmission power between a master CA Group (MCG) and a secondary CA Group (SCG),
apply a priority tie-breaking to the prioritization and allocation ; [ , ] and
transmit, via the transceiver, a first uplink control information (UCI) to a cell belonging to the CG1 and a second UCI to a cell belonging to CG2,
wherein:
when the first UCI and the second UCI comprise identical UCI types and when the CG1 is the MCG and the CG2 is the SCG, the processing circuitry is configured to apply a first power control formula for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) on the cell belonging to the CG1 and a second power control formula for the PUSCH on the cell belonging to the CG2 ; [ , ] and
the PUSCH on the cell belonging to the CG1 is prioritized over the PUSCH on the cell belonging to the CG2, wherein each power control formula specifies a respective allocation of power for transmission to a respective cell.
