Description

[0001] public domain

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to techniques and apparatus for uplink control communication repetition using different sets of time domain resources in multiple time slots.

[0003] background

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and long term evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless communication network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communications for several user equipment (UEs). User equipment (UEs) may communicate with the base stations (BSs) via downlinks and uplinks. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, access point (AP), radio head, transmit / receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. New Radio (NR) (which may also be referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and supporting beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation to improve spectrum efficiency, reduce costs, improve services, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, there is a need for further improvements to LTE and NR technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and telecommunication standards that adopt these technologies.

[0028] Detailed description

[0029] The various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout the present disclosure. Specifically, these aspects are provided to make the present disclosure thorough and complete, and they will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, regardless of whether it is implemented independently or in combination with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein can be used to implement a device or practice method. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such devices or methods that are practiced using a supplement to the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein or other other structures, functionality, or structure and functionality. It should be understood that any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein can be implemented by one or more elements of the claims.

[0030] Several aspects of telecommunications systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques are described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0031] It should be noted that although various aspects may be described herein using terminology generally associated with 3G and / or 4G wireless technologies, various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable in communication systems based on other generations, such as 5G and later generations, including NR technology.

[0032] Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 100 in which various aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NR network. The wireless network 100 may include several base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as a base station, NR base station, node B, gNB, 5G node B (NB), access point, transmit reception point (TRP), etc. Each base station may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a base station and / or the base station subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0033] A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residence) and may allow restricted access by UEs associated with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In Figure 1 In the example shown in FIG, BS 110a may be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b may be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c may be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms "eNB," "base station," "NR BS," "gNB," "TRP," "AP," "Node B," "5G NB," and "cell" may be used interchangeably herein.

[0034] In some aspects, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cells may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may interconnect with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections, virtual networks, etc.) using any suitable transport network.

[0035] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive transmissions of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send transmissions of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown in , relay station 110d may communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, relay base station, relay, or the like.

[0036] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs (e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc.). These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro BS may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while a pico BS, a femto BS, and a relay BS may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0037] The network controller 130 may be coupled to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control of these BSs. The network controller 130 may communicate with each BS via a backhaul. These BSs may also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, for example, via a wireless or wired backhaul.

[0038] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring, a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0039] Some UEs may be considered machine type communication (MTC) UEs, or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, and the like, which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network (such as the Internet) or a cellular network), for example, via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered customer premises equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as a processor component, a memory component, and the like. In some aspects, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, the processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory component (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, electrically coupled, and the like.

[0040] In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a specific radio access technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0041] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary) using one or more sidelink channels. For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, etc.), mesh networks, etc. In this scenario, the UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

[0042] As indicated above, Figure 1 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 1 Examples described.

[0043] Figure 2A block diagram shows a design 200 of a base station 110 and a UE 120, which may be Figure 1 One for each base station and one for each UE in . Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, where in general T≧1 and R≧1.

[0044] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on a channel quality indicator (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, as applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and frequency upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively. According to various aspects described in greater detail below, position coding may be utilized to generate synchronization signals to convey additional information.

[0045] At UE 120, antennas 252a through 252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a through 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a through 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data receiver 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller / processor 280. The channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), etc. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

[0046] On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.) from a controller / processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266, if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to the base station 110. At the base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators 232, detected by MIMO detector 236, if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide decoded data to the data receiver 239 and provide decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292.

[0047] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other component(s) of the base station 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with repetition of uplink control communications using different sets of time-domain resources in multiple time slots, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component of the may perform or direct e.g. Figure 7 The process of 700 Figure 8 800, and / or operations of other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compilation, conversion, interpretation, etc.) by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120, may perform or direct, for example, Figure 7 The process of 700 Figure 8 The process 800 of , and / or operations of other processes as described herein. In some aspects, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, interpreting instructions, etc. The scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmission on the downlink and / or uplink.

[0048] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for determining respective time-domain resource sets for a plurality of repetitions to be used for uplink control information transmission in a plurality of time slots; means for transmitting one or more of the plurality of repetitions using the respective time-domain resource sets or one or more other resources in the plurality of time slots based at least in part on determining the respective time-domain resource sets; and the like. In some aspects, such means may include means for combining Figure 2 One or more components of UE 120 are depicted, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and so forth.

[0049] In some aspects, the base station 110 may include: means for determining a plurality of repetitions of corresponding time domain resource sets to be used by a UE for uplink control information transmission in a plurality of time slots; means for transmitting an indication of the corresponding time domain resource set to the UE so that the UE can transmit one or more of the plurality of repetitions using the corresponding time domain resource set or one or more other resources in the time slot; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include means for combining Figure 2One or more components of base station 110 are depicted, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, and so forth.

[0050] As indicated above, Figure 2 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 2 Examples described.

[0051] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a frame structure in a wireless communication network in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. Figure 3 The frame structure shown in is used for frequency division duplex (FDD) in telecommunication systems such as LTE, NR, etc. The transmission timeline for each of the downlink and uplink may be divided into units of radio frames (sometimes referred to as frames). Each radio frame may have a predetermined duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)) and may be divided into a set of Z (Z ≥ 1) subframes (e.g., with indices 0 to Z-1). Each subframe may have a predetermined duration (e.g., 1 ms) and may include a set of time slots (e.g., in Figure 3 Each subframe 2 is shown in m time slots, where m is an index of the parameter design for transmission, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Each time slot may include a set of L symbol periods. For example, each time slot may include fourteen symbol periods (e.g., Figure 3 ), seven symbol periods, or another number of symbol periods. In the case where a subframe includes two slots (e.g., when m=1), the subframe may include 2L symbol periods, where the 2L symbol periods in each subframe may be assigned indices 0 to 2L–1. In some aspects, the scheduling unit for FDD may be frame-based, subframe-based, slot-based, minislot-based, symbol-based, etc.

[0052] As indicated above, Figure 3 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 3 Examples described.

[0053] Wireless communication devices (such as UEs, BSs, TRPs, etc.) can communicate with each other using repetition of communication (e.g., by transmitting the same communication multiple times). For example, for uplink control communication, the BS can indicate multiple repetitions of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources to be used by the UE for uplink control communication. The BS can indicate multiple repetitions of PUCCH resources in one time slot for the uplink communication, or multiple time slots for the UE to use for the multiple repetitions of PUCCH resources (e.g., using the same time domain resources in each time slot).

[0054] In some cases, it may be beneficial for a UE to use different time domain resource sets in each time slot to convey multiple repetitions of uplink control communications in multiple time slots to reduce latency (e.g., using the time domain resources at the end of the first time slot for the first repetition and using the time domain resources at the beginning of the second time slot for the second repetition). However, one or more PUCCH resources to be used for the multiple repetitions may be configured to use the same time domain resources in each time slot. In this way, the UE may not be configured to use different time domain resource sets in each time slot for multiple repetitions of uplink control communications. As a result, the latency and / or reliability of the communication may be compromised. Some techniques and devices described herein enable a UE to use different time domain resource sets in each time slot to convey multiple repetitions of uplink control communications in multiple time slots. This can improve latency and / or reliability of communications in a wireless network.

[0055] Figure 4 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of uplink control communication repetition using different time domain resource sets in multiple time slots according to various aspects of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown in FIG, a base station 110 and a UE 120 may communicate with each other in a wireless network (eg, wireless network 100).

[0056] As indicated by reference numeral 405, BS 110 may configure one or more PUCCH resources. BS 110 may configure the one or more PUCCH resources using a radio resource control (RRC) protocol. Each PUCCH resource may be configured using one or more PUCCH formats. A PUCCH format may include a short PUCCH format having a length of 1 or 2 symbols (e.g., PUCCH format 0 or 2) and / or a long PUCCH format having a minimum length of 4 symbols (e.g., PUCCH format 1, 3, or 4). For example, BS 110 may configure the one or more PUCCH resources using one or more PUCCH resource parameters. The one or more PUCCH resource parameters may include a start symbol parameter (e.g., indicating the start symbol of the PUCCH resource in a time slot), a length parameter (e.g., indicating the total number of symbols of the PUCCH resource), and / or a repetition number parameter (e.g., indicating the number of repetitions (if any) of the PUCCH resource).

[0057] In some aspects, BS 110 may configure a first PUCCH resource in a first time slot (e.g., indicated by a first start symbol parameter and a first length parameter) and a second PUCCH resource in a second time slot (e.g., indicated by a second start symbol parameter and a second length parameter). The first PUCCH resource may occupy a first time domain resource set in the first time slot. The second PUCCH resource may occupy a second time domain resource set in the second time slot. For example, assuming that each time slot includes 14 codewords, the first PUCCH resource may be configured such that the first PUCCH resource occupies codewords 8-12 of the first time slot. The second PUCCH resource may be configured such that the second PUCCH resource occupies codewords 2-6 of the second time slot. BS 110 may configure the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource such that the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource are linked together. For example, BS 110 may configure multiple PUCCH resource sets. The multiple PUCCH resource sets may be configured to indicate one or more PUCCH resource clusters. A PUCCH resource cluster may indicate one or more PUCCH resources. BS 110 may configure the PUCCH resource cluster to indicate a first PUCCH resource and a second PUCCH resource.

[0058] In some aspects, BS 110 may configure the PUCCH resource such that the PUCCH resource starts in the first slot (e.g., as indicated by a start symbol parameter) and ends in the second slot (e.g., as indicated by a length parameter). For example, BS 110 may use a start symbol parameter indicating the 9th symbol in the first slot and a length parameter indicating a length of 12 symbols to configure the PUCCH resource such that the PUCCH resource starts at the 8th symbol of the first slot and ends at the 6th symbol of the second slot, assuming that each slot includes 14 symbols.

[0059] In some aspects, BS 110 may determine a number of symbols for a PUCCH resource in a first time slot and a number of symbols for a PUCCH resource in a second time slot. BS 110 may determine that the number of symbols in the first time slot and the number of symbols in the second time slot both satisfy a threshold number of symbols. In some aspects, if the number of symbols in the first time slot and the number of symbols in the second time slot do not satisfy the threshold number of symbols, BS 110 may not configure the PUCCH resource (or may change one or more PUCCH resource parameters associated with the PUCCH resource). The threshold number of symbols may be based at least in part on a PUCCH format associated with the PUCCH resource. For example, if the PUCCH format indicates that the minimum number of symbols for the PUCCH resource is 4 symbols, the threshold number of symbols may be 4 symbols. For example, if the minimum number of codewords of the PUCCH resource is 4 codewords and the length of the PUCCH resource is greater than 14 codewords (e.g., assuming that each time slot includes 14 codewords), BS 110 can determine that the length of the PUCCH resource should be greater than 17 codewords (e.g., to ensure that even if the PUCCH resource starts at the first codeword of the first time slot, the number of codewords in the second time slot will be at least 4 codewords).

[0060] In some aspects, the threshold number of symbols for the number of symbols in the first time slot and the threshold number of symbols for the number of symbols in the second time slot can be the same. In some aspects, the threshold number of symbols for the number of symbols in the first time slot and the threshold number of symbols for the number of symbols in the second time slot can be different (e.g., such that the PUCCH resource is configured with a first PUCCH format in the first time slot and a second PUCCH format in the second time slot).

[0061] In some aspects, BS 110 may configure a PUCCH resource in a first time slot (e.g., indicated by a start symbol parameter and a length parameter) with a number of repetitions (e.g., indicated by a number of repetitions parameter). Each repetition of the PUCCH may have the same length as the PUCCH resource and may start directly after the previous repetition ends. In some aspects, one or more repetitions may be configured to have a different length than the PUCCH resource. In some aspects, the PUCCH resource may be configured such that there is a time gap between each repetition of the PUCCH resource (e.g., there are a number of symbols between each repetition). The PUCCH resource and the repetitions of the PUCCH resource may be configured as a single PUCCH resource. For example, BS 110 may configure the PUCCH resource such that the PUCCH resource has a length of 5 symbols, occupies the last 5 symbols of the first time slot, and has 3 repetitions. The configuration of the PUCCH resource may indicate that a second repetition of the PUCCH resource starts in the first symbol of the second time slot and has a length of 5 symbols (e.g., occupies symbols 1-5 of the second time slot). The configuration of the PUCCH resource may indicate that the third repetition of the PUCCH resource starts at the 6th symbol of the second time slot and is 5 symbols in length (e.g., occupying symbols 6-10 of the second time slot). In some aspects, BS 110 may configure the PUCCH resource so that the PUCCH resource ends at the last symbol of the first time slot (e.g., so that the next repetition of the PUCCH resource starts at the first symbol of the second time slot). In some aspects, BS 110 may configure the PUCCH resource so that the PUCCH resource and / or the repetition of the PUCCH resource crosses the boundary between the first time slot and the second time slot. In this case, BS 110 may configure the PUCCH resource and / or the repetition of the PUCCH resource in a manner similar to that described above.

[0062] As indicated by reference numeral 410, BS 110 may transmit an indication of one or more PUCCH resource configurations. BS 110 may transmit the indication of the one or more PUCCH resource configurations using the RRC protocol. The indication of the one or more PUCCH resource configurations may include one or more PUCCH resource parameters of the PUCCH resources. The indication of the one or more PUCCH resource configurations may be included in the RRC configuration.

[0063] As indicated by reference numeral 415, BS 110 may determine one or more PUCCH resources of multiple repetitions in the configured PUCCH resources to be used by UE 120 for uplink control information (UCI) transmission in a plurality of time slots. For example, the UCI transmission may be scheduled by downlink communication (e.g., scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) indicated in the downlink communication). For example, the UCI transmission may be a channel state information (CSI) transmission, a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission, a scheduling request (SR) transmission, etc. In some aspects, the UCI transmission may occur periodically (e.g., without being scheduled by downlink communication). In this case, the one or more PUCCH resources of multiple repetitions in the plurality of time slots to be used by UE 120 for UCI transmission may be indicated in the RRC configuration.

[0064] As indicated by reference numeral 420, BS 110 may transmit an indication of the one or more PUCCH resources. The indication of the one or more PUCCH resources may enable UE 120 to transmit multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission using one or more of these PUCCH resources, or one or more other resources (e.g., if UE 120 performs any multiplexing, as described herein), in multiple time slots using different time domain resources in each time slot. In some aspects, the one or more other resources may be one or more other time domain resource sets, one or more other PUCCH resources, or the like. In some aspects, the indication of the one or more PUCCH resources may be included in a downlink communication that schedules the multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission. For example, a DCI that schedules a PDSCH (e.g., DCI formats 1_0, 1_1, 1_2) may also schedule a HARQ-ACK transmission for acknowledging the scheduled PDSCH. In some aspects, the indication of the one or more PUCCH resources may be indicated in an RRC configuration (e.g., in the case of periodic uplink communication).

[0065] In some aspects, a downlink communication including an indication of the one or more PUCCH resources and scheduling UCI transmission may include a timing indicator, a PUCCH resource indicator (PRI), etc. In some aspects, a downlink communication may be associated with a control resource set (CORESET). A CORESET may include several control channel element indices.

[0066] As indicated by reference numeral 425, UE 120 may determine one or more PUCCH resources for multiple repetitions in the plurality of time slots to be used for UCI transmission based at least in part on the indication of the one or more PUCCH resources received from BS 110. For example, UE 120 may determine corresponding sets of time-domain resources (e.g., of one or more PUCCH resources) for multiple repetitions in the plurality of time slots to be used for UCI transmission.

[0067] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine one or more PUCCH resources to be used for multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission in a plurality of time slots based at least in part on a payload size of the UCI transmission. For example, UE 120 may compare the payload size of the UCI transmission to a maximum payload size associated with one or more PUCCH resource sets. In some aspects, the payload size of the UCI transmission may be the payload size of the UCI transmission after UE 120 performs a multiplexing operation, as described below.

[0068] In some aspects, the UE 120 may determine one or more PUCCH resources included in a PUCCH resource set based at least in part on a PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) received in a downlink communication scheduling a UCI transmission. In some aspects, the PRI may be capable of indicating the same number of values ​​as the number of PUCCH resources indicated by the PUCCH resource set. For example, the PUCCH resource set may indicate eight PUCCH resources. The PRI may be sized to three bits to enable the PRI to indicate eight values. In this case, the UE 120 may determine one or more PUCCH resources based at least in part on the PRI value.

[0069] In some aspects, the PUCCH resource set may indicate a higher number of PUCCH resources than the number of values ​​that the PRI can indicate (e.g., the PUCCH resource set may indicate 32 PUCCH resources, while the PRI may be capable of indicating 8 values). In this case, the UE 120 may identify the one or more PUCCH resources based at least in part on at least one of a PRI value, a first control channel element (CCE) index for a downlink communication indicating the PRI, or a number of CCEs included in a CORESET in which the UE 120 received the downlink communication indicating the PRI. For example, the one or more PUCCH resources may be derived using an equation that uses the PRI value, the first CCE index for the downlink communication, and / or the number of CCEs included in the CORESET, such as an equation that uses the PRI value, the first CCE index for the downlink communication, and the number of CCEs included in the CORESET.

[0070] In some aspects, downlink communications scheduling a UCI transmission may include multiple PRI values ​​indicating multiple PUCCH resources for multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission across multiple time slots. In some aspects, downlink communications scheduling a UCI transmission may include one PRI value indicating multiple PUCCH resources for multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission across multiple time slots. In some aspects, downlink communications scheduling a UCI transmission may include one PRI value indicating a first PUCCH resource for one repetition of the UCI transmission in a first time slot. UE 120 may determine, in a second time slot, a second PUCCH resource for a second repetition of the UCI transmission based at least in part on the first and second PUCCH resources being linked together (e.g., as indicated in a configuration of the PUCCH resources). UE 120 may determine, in a second time slot, that the second PUCCH resource is in the first time slot based at least in part on determining that the first PUCCH resource is in the first time slot and at least in part on determining that the second time slot is a next time slot after the first time slot.

[0071] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that the PUCCH resources indicated in the downlink communication scheduling the UCI transmission are configured such that the PUCCH resources start in a first time slot and end in a second time slot (e.g., based at least in part on one or more PUCCH resource parameters). In this case, UE 120 may determine that the PUCCH resources should be associated with multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission. For example, UE 120 may determine that the time-domain resource set for the first repetition of the UCI transmission should start at the beginning of the PUCCH resources and end at the end of the first time slot. For example, UE 120 may determine that the time-domain resource set for the second repetition of the UCI transmission should start at the beginning of the second time slot and end at the end of the PUCCH resources.

[0072] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that a PUCCH resource indicated in a downlink communication scheduling a UCI transmission is configured with one or more repetitions of the PUCCH resource. In this case, UE 120 may determine that the PUCCH resource should be associated with multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission corresponding to the multiple repetitions of the PUCCH resource. For example, UE 120 may determine that a set of time-domain resources for a first repetition of the UCI transmission should correspond to the PUCCH resource indicated in the downlink communication. UE 120 may determine that a set of time-domain resources for a second repetition of the UCI transmission should correspond to the first repetition of the PUCCH resource.

[0073] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that each repetition of the UCI transmission includes a separate demodulation reference signal symbol. In some aspects, UE 120 may perform rate matching for each repetition of the UCI transmission based at least in part on the associated resources of each repetition. In some aspects, UE 120 may map the UCI decoded bits to one or more PUCCH resource elements for each repetition of the UCI transmission based at least in part on the associated resources of each repetition. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine power control (e.g., to determine the transmit power of the UCI transmission) for each repetition of the UCI transmission (e.g., based at least in part on one or more transmit power control (TPC) commands received in a downlink communication scheduling the UCI transmission).

[0074] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that each repetition of the UCI transmission is to be transmitted on the same beam or the same hopping frequency. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that one or more repetitions of the UCI transmission are to be transmitted on different beams or different hopping frequencies. For example, UE 120 may determine that UE 120 is to perform inter-repetition beam hopping (e.g., transmit the first repetition on the first beam, transmit the next repetition on the second beam, transmit the next repetition on the first beam, etc.). In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that UE 120 is to perform inter-slot beam hopping (e.g., transmit all repetitions on the first beam in the first slot, transmit all repetitions on the second beam in the next slot, etc.).

[0075] As indicated by reference numeral 430, UE 120 may determine whether to drop one or more of the multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission based at least in part on determining that one or more of the PUCCH resources associated with the repetition of the UCI transmission overlap in the time domain with at least one other PUCCH resource of a different uplink communication. UE 120 may determine whether to drop one or more of the multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission (or one or more different uplink communications) on a per-slot basis and / or on a per-repetition basis. For example, UE 120 may determine a priority associated with each UCI transmission type that UE 120 is capable of transmitting. In some aspects, the priority of the UCI transmission types may be (from highest priority to lowest priority): HARQ-ACK > SR > CSI. In some aspects, CSI communications may include higher priority CSI communications and lower priority CSI communications. In this case, the priority of the UCI transmission types may be (from highest priority to lowest priority): HARQ-ACK > SR > higher priority CSI > lower priority CSI.

[0076] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine whether to discard one or more repetitions of a UCI transmission based at least in part on comparing the UCI transmission type of the UCI transmission with the UCI transmission type of a different uplink communication. In some aspects, UE 120 may discard the uplink communication (e.g., the uplink communication or the different uplink communication) with a lower priority UCI transmission type. For example, if the repetition of the UCI transmission is an SR transmission and the different uplink communication is a HARQ-ACK communication, UE 120 may discard the repetition of the UCI transmission that overlaps with at least one PUCCH resource of the different uplink communication in the time domain (e.g., the SR transmission that overlaps with the HARQ-ACK communication may be discarded). In some aspects, if the one or more repetitions of the UCI transmission do not overlap with at least one other PUCCH resource of the different uplink communication in the time domain, UE 120 may not discard the non-overlapping repetition of the UCI transmission.

[0077] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that a UCI transmission and a different uplink communication have the same UCI transmission type. In this case, UE 120 may compare the start time of one or more of the multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission with the start time of the different uplink communication. The start time of one or more of the multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission may be determined based at least in part on the start time of a repetition that overlaps with the different uplink communication or based at least in part on the start time of the first repetition of the multiple repetitions of the UCI transmission. In some aspects, UE 120 may discard the uplink communication (e.g., the UCI transmission or the different uplink communication) with the later start time.

[0078] In some aspects, when a UCI transmission and a different uplink communication have the same UCI transmission type, UE 120 may compare the number of repetitions of a plurality of repetitions of the UCI transmission in a time slot with the number of repetitions of the different uplink communication in the same time slot. In some aspects, the number of repetitions of the plurality of repetitions of the UCI transmission may be the total number of repetitions or the number of repetitions that overlap with the different uplink communication in the time domain. In some aspects, UE 120 may discard the uplink communication (e.g., the UCI transmission or the different uplink communication) with the greater number of repetitions in the time slot. In some aspects, UE 120 may discard the uplink communication (e.g., the UCI transmission or the different uplink communication) with the lower number of repetitions in the time slot.

[0079] In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that one or more of the plurality of repeated PUCCH resources used for UCI transmission overlaps in the time domain with at least one physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource of an associated different uplink communication. UE 120 may drop the different uplink communication based at least in part on determining that one or more of the plurality of repeated PUCCH resources used for UCI transmission overlaps in the time domain with the at least one PUSCH resource.

[0080] As indicated by reference numeral 435, UE 120 may determine whether to multiplex any uplink communications. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine whether to multiplex any uplink communications on a per-slot basis (e.g., a repetition of a UCI transmission in a first slot may not affect a determination of whether to multiplex any uplink communications in a second slot). In some aspects, UE 120 may treat all slots including repetitions of UCI transmissions as a single slot for purposes of determining whether to multiplex any uplink communications.

[0081] For example, UE 120 may determine whether to multiplex one or more repetitions of a UCI transmission with the one or more different uplink communications based at least in part on determining that one or more different uplink communications are scheduled in one or more resources that overlap in the time domain with at least one of the repeated PUCCH resources used for the UCI transmission. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that the one or more resources that overlap in the time domain with at least one of the repeated PUCCH resources used for the UCI transmission are one or more other PUCCH resources. UE 120 may multiplex the UCI transmission with the one or more different uplink communications based at least in part on determining that the one or more resources that overlap in the time domain with at least one of the repeated PUCCH resources used for the UCI transmission are one or more other PUCCH resources. As a result, all repetitions of the UCI transmission may include the UCI transmission and payloads of the different uplink communications (e.g., may include UCI for the UCI transmission and UCI for the different uplink communications). UE 120 may determine new PUCCH resources (which may or may not be the same as the originally identified PUCCH resource or resources) using the new payload size of the multiplexed PUCCH communication in a manner similar to that described above (e.g., by identifying a PUCCH resource from the set of identified PUCCH resources).

[0082] In some aspects, the UE 120 may determine that one or more resources that overlap in the time domain with at least one of the repeated PUCCH resources used for the UCI transmission are one or more resources used for a PUSCH transmission. In some aspects, the UE 120 may determine that the PUSCH transmission includes multiple PUSCH repetitions. In some aspects, the UE 120 may multiplex the UCI transmission (e.g., all repetitions of the UCI transmission) with the multiple PUSCH repetitions based at least in part on determining that the PUSCH transmission includes multiple PUSCH repetitions. In some aspects, the UE 120 may multiplex the UCI transmission with one or more PUSCH repetitions that overlap in the time domain with at least one of the PUCCH resources (e.g., such that only the overlapping PUSCH transmissions include the payload of the UCI transmission) based at least in part on determining that the PUSCH transmission includes multiple PUSCH repetitions.

[0083] In some aspects, the UE 120 may drop one or more of the repetitions of the UCI transmission (e.g., all repetitions of the UCI transmission) based at least in part on determining that the PUSCH transmission includes multiple PUSCH repetitions. In some aspects, the UE 120 may drop one or more repetitions of the UCI transmission associated with a PUCCH resource that overlap with one or more PUSCH repetitions in the time domain based at least in part on determining that the PUSCH transmission includes multiple PUSCH repetitions.

[0084] As indicated by reference numeral 440, UE 120 may transmit one or more repetitions of a UCI transmission and / or one or more multiplexed uplink communications to BS 110 in multiple time slots using different time domain resources in each time slot. For example, UE 120 may transmit one or more of the repetitions of the UCI transmission in the multiple time slots after determining whether to drop or multiplex the one or more repetitions of the UCI transmission. In some aspects, UE 120 may transmit one or more of the repetitions of the UCI transmission using different beams and / or using different frequency hopping. In some aspects, UE 120 may transmit the one or more repetitions of the UCI transmission in the multiple time slots using resources different from one or more PUCCH resources indicated in the downlink communication scheduling the UCI transmission (e.g., after performing multiplexing).

[0085] As indicated above, Figure 4 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 4 Examples described.

[0086] Figure 55 is a diagram illustrating various examples of uplink control communication repetition using different time domain resource sets in multiple time slots according to various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, a transmission timeline for an uplink may include one or more time slots (e.g., time slot n, time slot n+1, etc.), such as a first set of time slots (e.g., time slot 510), a second set of time slots (e.g., time slot 520), and a third set of time slots (e.g., time slot 530). Time slots 510, time slots 520, and / or time slots 530 may be different time slots in the same transmission timeline for the uplink. In some aspects, time slots 510, time slots 520, and / or time slots 530 may represent the same set of time slots in different transmission timelines for the uplink. A block in time slots 510, time slots 520, and / or time slots 530 may represent a resource (e.g., a PUCCH resource, a resource for a PUSCH transmission, etc.).

[0087] As shown, a UE (e.g., UE 120) may determine, in a plurality of time slots (e.g., time slot n and time slot n+1), a plurality of repetitive sets of corresponding time domain resources to be used for uplink control information (UCI) transmission. In some aspects, time slot n and time slot n+1 are consecutive time slots in the same transmission timeline. Time slot 510, time slot 520, and time slot 530 are provided as examples only. Other time slots may include additional uplink communication resources, fewer uplink communication resources, different uplink communication resources, etc.

[0088] As shown by time slot 510, UE 120 may determine two PUCCH resources (e.g., PUCCH resource 1 and PUCCH resource 2) for two repetitions of UCI transmission. PUCCH resource 1 and / or PUCCH resource 2 may be configured with a starting symbol (e.g., indicated by a start symbol parameter) and a length (e.g., indicated by a length parameter). In some aspects, the length of PUCCH resource 1 and the length of PUCCH resource 2 are the same. In some aspects, the length of PUCCH resource 1 and the length of PUCCH resource 2 are different. In some aspects, the set of time domain resources occupied by PUCCH resource 1 in time slot n may be different from the set of time domain resources occupied by PUCCH resource 2 in time slot n+1. For example, PUCCH resource 1 may occupy symbols 8-12 of time slot n. PUCCH resource 2 may occupy symbols 2-6 of time slot n+1.

[0089] In some aspects, PUCCH resource 1 and PUCCH resource 2 may be linked (e.g., in a resource cluster, etc.). UE 120 may determine that PUCCH resource 1 and PUCCH resource 2 are linked based at least in part on the configuration of the PUCCH resources. In some aspects, a downlink communication scheduling a UCI transmission may indicate both PUCCH resource 1 and PUCCH resource 2. In some aspects, a downlink communication scheduling a UCI transmission may indicate only one of PUCCH resource 1 or PUCCH resource 2, and UE 120 may determine the other of PUCCH resource 1 or PUCCH resource 2 based at least in part on the linkage indicated in the configuration of the PUCCH resources. In some aspects, a downlink communication scheduling a UCI transmission may indicate whether PUCCH resource 1 and PUCCH resource 2 correspond to the same time slot or consecutive time slots.

[0090] As shown by time slot 520, UE 120 may determine one PUCCH resource (e.g., PUCCH resource 1) for two repetitions of UCI transmission in consecutive time slots (e.g., time slot n and time slot n+1). UE 120 may determine that PUCCH resource 1 is configured with a start symbol (e.g., indicated by a start symbol parameter) and a length (e.g., indicated by a length parameter) such that PUCCH resource 1 starts in time slot n and ends in time slot n+1. UE 120 may determine the number of repetitions of PUCCH resource 1 to be used for UCI transmission based at least in part on determining that PUCCH resource 1 is configured such that PUCCH resource 1 spans a time slot boundary. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the number of repetitions of PUCCH resource 1 to be used for UCI transmission based at least in part on an indication in a downlink communication scheduling the UCI transmission. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that a first repetition of the UCI transmission is to occur in time slot n and a second repetition of the UCI transmission is to occur in time slot n+1 based at least in part on the configuration of PUCCH resource 1. For example, UE 120 may determine that the first repetition of the UCI transmission should use time domain resources of PUCCH resource 1 from the start of PUCCH resource 1 until the end of time slot n. UE 120 may determine that the second repetition of the UCI transmission should use time domain resources of PUCCH resource 1 from the start of time slot n+1 until the end of PUCCH resource 1.

[0091] As shown by time slot 530, UE 120 may determine one PUCCH resource (e.g., PUCCH resource 1) for three repetitions of a UCI transmission in consecutive time slots (e.g., time slot n and time slot n+1). UE 120 may determine that PUCCH resource 1 is configured with a start symbol (e.g., indicated by a start symbol parameter), a length (e.g., indicated by a length parameter), and a number of repetitions (e.g., 3, indicated by a number of repetitions parameter). In some aspects, the start symbol may be the start symbol of the first repetition of the UCI transmission, and the length may be the length of the first repetition of the UCI transmission. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that all repetitions (e.g., indicated by the number of repetitions parameter) have the same length as the first repetition and occur consecutively after the first repetition in the time domain. For example, UE 120 may determine that PUCCH resource 1 is configured with a start symbol of the 11th symbol of time slot n, a length of 4 symbols, and a number of repetitions of 3 repetitions. Assuming that slot n has 14 symbols, UE 120 may determine that the first repetition of PUCCH resource 1 occupies the last four symbols of slot n (e.g., symbols 11 to 14). UE 120 may determine that the second repetition of PUCCH resource 1 occupies the first four symbols of slot n+1 (e.g., symbols 1 to 4). UE 120 may determine that the third repetition of PUCCH resource 1 occupies the next four symbols of slot n+1 following the second repetition of PUCCH resource 1 (e.g., symbols 5 to 8). UE 120 may determine that the first repetition of UCI transmission should use the time-domain resources of the first repetition of PUCCH resource 1. UE 120 may determine that the second repetition of UCI transmission should use the time-domain resources of the second repetition of PUCCH resource 1. UE 120 may determine that the third repetition of UCI transmission should use the time-domain resources of the third repetition of PUCCH resource 1. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine that the repetition of PUCCH resource 1 spans the slot boundary between slot n and slot n+1. In this case, UE 120 may determine that the repetition of PUCCH resource 1 spans the slot boundary between slot n and slot n+1. Figure 4 and / or treat repetitions across time slot boundaries as described with respect to time slot 520 .

[0092] As indicated above, Figure 5 are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from those described in Figure 5 Examples described.

[0093] Figure 66 is a diagram illustrating various examples of repetition of uplink control communications using different time domain resource sets in multiple time slots according to various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown, the transmission timeline for the uplink may include one or more time slots (e.g., time slot n, time slot n+1, etc.), such as a first time slot set (e.g., time slot 610) and a second time slot set (e.g., time slot 620). Time slot 610 and / or time slot 620 may be different time slots in the same transmission timeline for the uplink. In some aspects, time slot 610 and / or time slot 620 may represent the same time slot set in different transmission timelines for the uplink. The blocks in time slot 610 and / or time slot 620 may represent one resource (e.g., PUCCH resources, resources for PUSCH transmission, etc.). Time slot 610 and time slot 620 are provided as examples only. Other time slots may include additional uplink communications, fewer uplink communications, different uplink communications, etc.

[0094] As shown in time slot 610, the user equipment (e.g., UE 120) may compare the UCI transmission types of uplink communications in each time slot (e.g., time slot n and / or time slot n+1) to determine which uplink communications (if any) to discard. In some aspects, UE 120 may compare the UCI transmission types of uplink communications in each time slot (e.g., time slot n and / or time slot n+1) to determine which uplink communications (if any) to discard. Figure 4 A similar approach as described above is used to determine which uplink communications, if any, to drop.

[0095] For example, UE 120 may determine one PUCCH resource to be used for three repetitions of a UCI transmission (e.g., UCI 1) in consecutive time slots (e.g., time slot n and time slot n+1). UE 120 may determine that UCI 1 is an SR transmission. UE 120 may identify another PUCCH resource to be used for another UCI transmission (e.g., UCI 2) in time slot n. UE 120 may determine that UCI 2 is a CSI transmission. UE 120 may identify a resource to be used for PUSCH communication (e.g., PUSCH 1) in time slot n+1. UE 120 may identify another PUCCH resource to be used for another UCI transmission (e.g., UCI 3) in time slot n+1. UE 120 may determine that UCI 3 is a HARQ-ACK transmission. UE 120 may determine which uplink communications, if any, to drop on a per-slot basis (e.g., may determine which uplink communications, if any, to drop in slot n and which uplink communications, if any, to drop in slot n+1). In some aspects, UE 120 may determine which uplink communications, if any, to drop on a per-repetition basis.

[0096] For example, UE 120 may determine that UCI 2 should be dropped based at least in part on a determination that PUCCH resources for UCI 2 overlap with PUCCH resources for a first repetition of UCI 1 in the time domain and based at least in part on a determination that the UCI transmission type (e.g., SR) of UCI 1 has a higher priority than the UCI transmission type (e.g., CSI) of UCI 2. UE 120 may determine that PUSCH 1 should be dropped based at least in part on a determination that resources for PUSCH 1 overlap with PUCCH resources for a first repetition of UCI 1 in the time domain and based at least in part on a determination that the overlapping resources are to be used for PUSCH transmission. UE 120 may determine that the third repetition of UCI 1 should be dropped based at least in part on a determination that PUCCH resources for UCI 3 overlap with PUCCH resources for a third repetition of UCI 1 in the time domain and based at least in part on a determination that the UCI transmission type (e.g., HARQ-ACK) of UCI 3 has a higher priority than the UCI transmission type (e.g., SR) of UCI 1. As a result, UE 120 may transmit a first repetition of UCI 1 in time slot n after determining which uplink communications should be dropped. UE 120 may transmit a second repetition of UCI 1 and UCI 3 in time slot n+1 (e.g., as in Figure 6 following the upper arrow in the ).

[0097] As shown by time slot 620, UE 120 may determine whether the resources of different uplink communications in each time slot overlap in the time domain to determine which uplink communications, if any, to multiplex. In some aspects, UE 120 may be similar to the above description of Figure 4 1. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine which uplink communications, if any, to multiplex on a per-slot basis (e.g., determining which uplink communications, if any, to multiplex in slot n and which uplink communications, if any, to multiplex in slot n+1). In some aspects, UE 120 may treat all slots including repetitions of UCI transmissions as a single slot for purposes of determining which uplink communications, if any, to multiplex (e.g., UE 120 may treat slot n and slot n+1 as one slot).

[0098] For example, UE 120 may determine one PUCCH resource to be used for two repetitions of UCI transmission (e.g., UCI 1) in consecutive time slots (e.g., time slot n and time slot n+1). UE 120 may identify another PUCCH resource to be used for another UCI transmission (e.g., UCI 2) in time slot n. UE 120 may identify a resource to be used for PUSCH communication (e.g., PUSCH 1) in time slot n+1. UE 120 may identify another PUCCH resource to be used for another UCI transmission (e.g., UCI 3) in time slot n+1. UE 120 may determine that UCI 1 and the first repetition of UCI 2 should be multiplexed based at least in part on determining that the PUCCH resource for UCI 2 in time slot n overlaps with the PUCCH resource for the first repetition of UCI 1 in the time domain. UE 120 may determine that the second repetition of UCI 1 and PUSCH 1 should be multiplexed based at least in part on determining that resources for PUSCH 1 in time slot n+1 overlap with PUCCH resources for the second repetition of UCI 1 in the time domain. UE 120 may determine that UCI 3 should not be multiplexed with any other uplink communication based at least in part on determining that PUCCH resources for UCI 3 do not overlap with any other resources for another uplink communication in the time domain. As a result, after determining which uplink communications should be multiplexed (and multiplexing those uplink communications), UE 120 may transmit UCI 1 and the first repetition of UCI 2 in a first PUCCH transmission (e.g., PUCCH 1) in time slot n. UE 120 may transmit the second repetition of UCI 1 and PUSCH 1 in a PUSCH transmission in time slot n+1. UE 120 may transmit UCI 3 (e.g., as originally identified in time slot n+1) using the PUCCH resources originally identified in time slot n+1. Figure 6 In some aspects, the resources of the multiplexed uplink communication may be the same as the originally identified resources. In some aspects, the UE 120 may determine different PUCCH resources for the multiplexed uplink communication based at least in part on the new payload of the uplink communication (e.g., the multiplexed payload of the uplink communication).
