A method of resolving an uplink collision and pre-empting portions of an uplink channel is provided. A UE receives an uplink cancellation indication from a base station. The UE identifies that a UCI transmission on a PUCCH transmission overlaps with a second uplink transmission. The UE determines whether to apply the ULCI to the PUCCH transmission and the second uplink transmission before or after applying a multiplexing rule to resolve the collision. The UE transmits an uplink communication to the base station based on the ULCI and the multiplexing rule.
