1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the RRC message comprises:
information indicating physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources for the WTRU, and
at least one priority indication;
determining that uplink control information is to be transmitted during a time period that at least partially overlaps with a transmission opportunity associated with the PUSCH resources in a first slot, wherein a transport block associated with the PUSCH resources is to be transmitted in the transmission opportunity;
determining that the uplink control information has a higher priority than the transmission opportunity associated with the PUSCH resources in the first slot based on the at least one priority indication in the RRC message;
transmitting the uplink control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission during the time period in the first slot; and
transmitting the transport block associated with the PUSCH resources in a second slot based on a repetition indication in the RRC message, wherein a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) is multiplexed on the PUSCH resources in the second slot based on a parameter in the RRC message being set, wherein the second slot is immediately subsequent to the first slot.
