1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:
identify a collision between first physical uplink channel transmission and a second physical uplink channel transmission, wherein the first physical uplink channel transmission is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission without repetition and the second physical uplink channel transmission includes a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions;
determine a first target transmit receive point (TRP) for the first physical uplink channel transmission;
determine a second target TRP for the second physical uplink channel transmission;
perform a collision resolution procedure based on the first and second target TRPs, wherein to perform the collision resolution procedure the processing circuitry is to:
determine a relative priority between the PUCCH transmission and the plurality of PUSCH repetitions based on information corresponding to the first and second TRPs;
drop a first one of the PUCCH transmission or one or more repetitions of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions based on the relative priority; and
output for transmission a second one of the PUCCH transmission or the one or more repetitions of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions based on the relative priority.
