Mapping uplink control information to uplink data channel in wireless communication

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for multiplexing uplink control information and uplink user data in the same uplink slot. A scheduling entity may use a unified rule to map uplink control information (UCI) in a distributed fashion according to a predetermined step size on each orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol regardless of UCI types. The scheduling entity may use a unified rule to partition the UCI into two parts when frequency hopping is enabled, and use the same unified rule to map the UCI in each hop.
