A method and apparatus schedule uplink transmissions with reduced latency. A number of symbols used for UL transmissions in a TTI can be compared to a threshold value of symbols. An indication can be sent from a device on a sidelink channel. The indication can indicate the location of symbols used for an UL transmission when the UL transmission occupies a number of symbols less than the threshold value. Both a sidelink transmission and the UL transmission can be transmitted in the TTI when the UL transmission occupies the number of symbols less than the threshold value. Only the UL transmission can be transmitted in the TTI when the UL signal occupies a number of symbols that are at least the threshold value.
