Resource element (RE) allocation for uplink control information (UCI) on physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)
Apparatus and methods are provided for RE allocation for UCI on PUSCH. In one novel aspect, the UE encodes UCI for transmission on PUSCH in a NR network. The UE allocates UCI REs onto the PUSCH following one or more UCI RE allocation rules including (a) using same logical allocation patterns for both CP-OFDM waveforms and DFT-S-OFDM waveforms, (b) distributing the UCI REs across a time domain of the PUSCH, and (c) distributing the UCI REs across a frequency domain for CP-OFDM or across a virtual-time domain for DFT-S-OFDM. In one embodiment, the HARQ-ACK REs are distributed across the time domain as much as possible. In another embodiment, the allocation of the HARQ-ACK REs further involves calculating the number of HARQ REs dynamically for the HARQ ACK. The number of HARQ REs is based on a weighting parameter, which is either configured or obtained through system information.
