1. A method of operating a network node in a New Radio (NR) radio access network, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment, control signaling that schedules sounding reference signaling and physical channel signaling to be transmitted by the user equipment on the same carrier and in the same slot as one another, the sounding reference signaling and the physical channel signaling being scheduled for transmission in respective first and second time intervals that are in the slot and that overlap in time in an overlap time interval, wherein the first time interval has a duration of 2 or 4 symbol time intervals, wherein the physical channel signaling is physical channel signaling on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH); and
based on scheduling of the sounding reference signaling according to the control signaling, receiving signaling from the user equipment such that, in the overlap time interval, the physical channel signaling is received without the scheduled sounding reference signaling, and wherein the signaling is received such that sounding reference signaling scheduled for a part of the first time interval not overlapping with the second time interval is received on the same carrier as the physical channel signaling.
