COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND BASE STATION INVOLVED IN UPLINK CONFIGURATION

Provided are a communication device, a base station, and methods for a communication device and a base station. The communication device comprises a transceiver, which receives a transmission configuration defining a first time resource for a semi-statically configured uplink transmission applicable to an associated resource type, and a resource type configuration defining a resource type of a second time resource, and circuitry, which, based on the transmission configuration and the resource type configuration, makes a determination on whether to initiate performing or skip the semi-statically configured uplink transmission on the first time resource. The circuitry determines to skip the uplink transmission if the first time resource overlaps with the second time resource and if the uplink transmission is not applicable to the resource type of the second time resource, and the transceiver, in operation, performs or skips the semi-statically configured uplink transmission in accordance with a result of the determination.
