1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a base station; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
identify a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configured to carry an uplink control information (UCI);
determine, based on a configuration received from the base station, a first set of configured grant physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs), wherein each configured grant PUSCH of the first set of configured grant PUSCHs overlaps with the PUCCH, and is configured to transmit data from the UE to the base station;
determine a second set of configured grant PUSCHs by excluding a third set of configured grant PUSCHs from the first set of configured grant PUSCHs;
select a configured grant PUSCH from the second set of configured grant PUSCHs to carry the UCI contained in the PUCCH;
transmit the selected configured grant PUSCH including the UCI without transmitting the PUCCH; and
determine that there is no dynamic grant PUSCH overlapping with the PUCCH or with the selected configured grant PUSCH.
