Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message indicating that the UE multiplexes uplink control information (UCI) on an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) including a plurality of scheduled transport blocks. The UE may calculate a first number of resources for transmitting the UCI and a second number of resources available for UCI based on resources associated with one or more of the transport blocks. The UE may then use a minimum of the two numbers to determine a number of resources for multiplexing the UCI on the UL-SCH and transmit the UL-SCH transmission including the UCI.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The following relates to wireless communications including resource allocation of uplink control information with multiple scheduled transport blocks. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcasting, and the like. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems (such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each of which supports wireless communications for communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE). Summary of the invention

[0003] The described technology generally relates to improved methods, systems, devices and apparatuses for supporting resource allocation of uplink control information (UCI) using multiple scheduled transport blocks. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a control message including a schedule for an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) associated with a set of multiple transport blocks and an indication to multiplex UCI with the UL-SCH on one or more transport blocks in the set of multiple transport blocks based on the control message. The UE may calculate a first resource quantity for sending the UCI and a second resource quantity that can be used for the UCI based on resources associated with one or more transport blocks in the transport block. The UE may then use the minimum of the two quantities to determine the number of resources for multiplexing the UCI on the UL-SCH and send the UL-SCH transmission including the UCI. In some specific implementations, the UE may calculate the first resource quantity based on the number and size of code blocks associated with one or more transport blocks in the transport block, based on the maximum or minimum effective modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value of the transport block, or based on both. In some examples, the UE may be scheduled to send other UCI. In these examples, the UE may calculate the second amount of resources based on a difference between the available resources for the UCI and an amount of resources allocated to the other UCI.

[0047] In some wireless communication systems, a user equipment (UE) may perform uplink data transmission to a network entity via an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH). The network entity may schedule UL-SCH transmissions using a transport block including multiple resources (e.g., via a dynamic grant (DG) or via control signaling referred to as a configured grant (CG)). In some cases, the UE may multiplex the scheduled UL-SCH (e.g., physical uplink control channel (PUSCH)) transmission with uplink control information (UCI) on multiple resources of the transport block included in the UL-SCH. For example, the network entity may output a message including a mapping of UCI symbols to resources of a single transport block, or the UE may calculate the mapping based on the single transport block. However, some wireless communication systems may support network entities scheduling multiple transport blocks with multiple layers of resources to improve uplink throughput and reliability. Therefore, the procedure assuming a single transport block may result in ambiguity or uncertainty between the UE and the network entity as to whether the UE may multiplex the UCI with a given UL-SCH transmission comprising multiple transport blocks or how many of the UL-SCH transmissions the UE may use to multiplex the UCI.

[0048] The present disclosure provides a technique for a UCI resource allocation procedure utilizing multiple scheduled transport blocks. For example, a UE may receive a control message including a schedule for a UL-SCH associated with a set of multiple transport blocks and an indication of multiplexing UCI with the UL-SCH on one or more transport blocks in the set of multiple transport blocks based on the control message. The UE may calculate a first resource quantity for sending the UCI and a second resource quantity that can be used for the UCI based on resources associated with one or more transport blocks in the transport block. The UE may then use the minimum of the two quantities to determine the number of resources for multiplexing the UCI on the UL-SCH and send the UL-SCH transmission including the UCI. In some specific implementations, the UE may calculate the first resource quantity based on the number and size of code blocks associated with one or more transport blocks in the transport block, based on the maximum or minimum effective modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value of the transport block, or based on both. In some examples, the UE may be scheduled to send other UCI. In these examples, the UE may calculate the second amount of resources based on a difference between the available resources for the UCI and an amount of resources allocated to the other UCI.

[0049] Aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow diagrams related to resource allocation of UCI with multiple scheduled transport blocks.

[0050] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 that supports resource allocation of UCI with multiple scheduled transport blocks according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a long term evolution (LTE) network, an advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a new radio (NR) network, or a network operating according to other systems and radio technologies (including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein).

[0051] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100, and may include devices in different forms or with different capabilities. In various examples, the network entities 105 may be referred to as network elements, mobility elements, radio access network (RAN) nodes, or network equipment, etc. In some examples, the network entities 105 and the UE 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, the network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) over which the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which the network entity 105 and the UE 115 may support signal communications according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0052] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary or mobile or both stationary and mobile at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of supporting communication with various types of devices, such as Figure 1 Communicate with other UEs 115 or network entities 105) as shown.

[0053] As described herein, a node of the wireless communication system 100 (which may be referred to as a network node or a wireless node) may be a network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), a UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, the node may be a UE 115. As another example, the node may be a network entity 105. As another example, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second node or a third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a network entity 105. In yet other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, references to UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, or computing system, etc. may include disclosure of UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, or computing system, etc. as nodes. For example, a disclosure that UE 115 is configured to receive information from network entity 105 also discloses that the first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0054] In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, the network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to S1, N2, N3, or other interface protocols). In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with each other via the backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn, or other interface protocols) directly (e.g., directly between the network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130). In some examples, the network entities 105 may communicate with each other via the midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., according to the midhaul interface protocol) or the fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., according to the fronthaul interface protocol) or any combination thereof. The backhaul communication links 120, the midhaul communication links 162, or the fronthaul communication links 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, optical fiber links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), etc. or various combinations thereof. UE 115 may communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155 .

[0055] One or more of the network entities 105 described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a transceiver base station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNB), a next generation Node B, or a Gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a 5G NB, a next generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home Node B, a Home Evolved Node B, or other suitable terms). In some examples, the network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, stand-alone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as a base station 140).

[0056] In some examples, the network entity 105 may be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture) that may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more network entities 105, such as an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, the network entity 105 may include one or more of the following: a central unit (CU) 160, a distributed unit (DU) 165, a radio unit (RU) 170, a RAN intelligent controller (RIC) 175 (e.g., a near real-time RIC (near RT RIC), a non-real-time RIC (non-RT RIC)), a service management and orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. The RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmit receive point (TRP). One or more components of the network entity 105 in the decomposed RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 of the decomposed RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0057] The functional split between CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and may support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, and any combination thereof) are performed at CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack may be employed between CU 160 and DU 165 such that CU 160 may support one or more layers of a protocol stack and DU 165 may support one or more different layers of a protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 may host higher protocol layer (e.g., layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2)) functionality and signaling (e.g., radio resource control (RRC), service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170, and the one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170 may host lower protocol layers, such as layer 1 (L1) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between the DUs 165 and the RUs 170, such that the DUs 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and the RUs 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DUs 165 may support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RUs 170). In some cases, the functional split between CU 160 and DU 165 or between DU 165 and RU 170 may be within the protocol layer (e.g., some functions of the protocol layer may be performed by one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by a different one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). CU 160 may be further functionally split into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 via midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and DU 165 may be connected to one or more RUs 170 via fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, midhaul communication link 162 or fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented based on an interface (e.g., a channel) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities 105 that communicate via such communication links.

[0058] In some wireless communication systems (e.g., wireless communication system 100), infrastructure and spectrum resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, thereby providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) may be partially controlled by each other. One or more IAB nodes 104 may be referred to as donor entities or IAB donors. One or more DUs 165 or one or more RUs 170 may be controlled in part by one or more CUs 160 associated with a donor network entity 105 (e.g., donor base station 140). One or more donor network entities 105 (e.g., IAB donors) may communicate with one or more additional network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication links 120). The IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile termination (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by a DU 165 of a coupled IAB donor. The IAB-MT may include an independent set of antennas for relaying communications with the UE 115, or may share the same antennas of the IAB node 104 (e.g., of the RU 170) for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node 104 (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node 104 may include a DU 165 that supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a relay chain or configuration (e.g., downstream) of the access network. In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of the IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0059] Where the techniques described herein are applied to the context of a decomposed RAN architecture, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture may be configured to support resource allocation of UCIs with multiple scheduled transport blocks as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by a UE 115 or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., an IAB node 104, a DU 165, a CU 160, a RU 170, a RIC 175, a SMO 180).

[0060] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device or a subscriber device, or some other suitable term, where a "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal or a client, etc. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0061] The UE 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices such as other UEs 115 which may sometimes act as relays, as well as network entities 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0062] The UE 115 and the network entity 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure to support the communication link 125. For example, a carrier for the communication link 125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communications with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, the UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation may be used for both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between the network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between these devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of the network entity 105. For example, the terms "send," "receive," or "communicate," when referring to the network entity 105, may refer to any portion of the network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU 160, DU 165, RU 170) of the RAN that communicates with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0063] In some examples, such as in a carrier aggregation configuration, a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute RF Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be identified based on a channel raster for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in a standalone mode, in which case initial acquisition and connection may be performed by UE 115 via the carrier, or a carrier may operate in a non-standalone mode, in which case the connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or different radio access technology).

[0064] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include downlink transmissions (e.g., forward link transmissions) from the network entity 105 to the UE 115, uplink transmissions (e.g., return link transmissions) from the UE 115 to the network entity 105, or both, as well as other transmission configurations. A carrier may carry downlink communications or uplink communications (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry downlink communications and uplink communications (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0065] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the RF spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the "system bandwidth" of the carrier or wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a set of carrier bandwidths for a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4 megahertz (MHz), 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz). A device of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115, or both) may have a hardware configuration that supports communications using a particular carrier bandwidth, or may be capable of being configured to support communications using one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include a network entity 105 or a UE 115 that supports concurrent communications using carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate using a portion (e.g., a subband, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth.

[0066] The signal waveform transmitted via the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system using MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to a resource of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), so that a relatively high number of resource elements (e.g., within the transmission duration) and a relatively high order modulation scheme may correspond to a relatively high communication rate. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers, beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0067] One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, and the numerologies may include subcarrier spacing (Δf) and cyclic prefixes. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time, and communications for a UE 115 may be constrained to one or more active BWPs.

[0068] The time interval for the network entity 105 or the UE 115 may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit, which may be, for example, a sampling period T s =1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds, in this case, Δf max It can represent the supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. The time intervals of the communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each radio frame having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0069] Each frame may include a plurality of consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into a certain number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a certain number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix added before each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, a time slot may also be divided into a plurality of mini-time slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0070] A subframe, a time slot, a mini-time slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0071] Physical channels may be multiplexed using carriers for communication according to various techniques. For example, physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed using one or more of a time division multiplexing (TDM) technique, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technique, or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique to signal via a downlink carrier. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by a set of symbol periods and may extend across a system bandwidth or a subset of a system bandwidth of a carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs in UE115 may monitor or search a control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of a control channel candidate may refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for transmitting control information to multiple UEs 115 , and a UE-specific search space set for transmitting control information to a specific UE 115 .

[0072] In some examples, the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140, RUs 170) may be mobile and thus provide communication coverage for mobile coverage areas 110. In some examples, different coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same network entity 105. In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of network entities 105 provide coverage for various coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0073] The wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). The UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication may include private communication or group communication, and may be supported by one or more services (such as push-to-talk, video or data). Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency and ultra-reliable low-latency are used interchangeably herein.

[0074] In some examples, the UE 115 may be configured to support communication directly with other UEs 115 via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., according to a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in a group that are performing D2D communication may be within a coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communication configured (e.g., scheduled) by the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in such a group may be outside of the coverage area 110 of the network entity 105, or may otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from the network entity 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication may support a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, network entity 105 may facilitate scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In some other examples, D2D communications may be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105.

[0075] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW) or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to an external network. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to an IP service 150 for one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0076] The wireless communication system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands that may be in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally speaking, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelength range is approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features (which may be referred to as clusters), but these waves may be sufficient to penetrate structures so that macro cells provide services to UEs 115 located indoors. Communications using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to communications using the lower frequencies and longer wavelengths of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0077] The wireless communication system 100 may utilize licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 may employ license assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology using unlicensed bands (such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band). When operating using unlicensed RF spectrum bands, devices such as network entities 105 and UE 115 may employ carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations using unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration combined with component carriers operating using licensed bands (e.g., LAA). Operations using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among others.

[0078] The network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located in one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with the network entity 105 may be located at different geographical locations. The network entity 105 may include an antenna array having a set of rows and columns of antenna ports that the network entity 105 can use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support RF beamforming for signals sent via the antenna ports.

[0079] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115) to shape or direct an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining signals conveyed via antenna elements of an antenna array so that some signals propagating along a particular direction relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals conveyed via antenna elements may include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via antenna elements associated with the device. Adjustments associated with each of these antenna elements may be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular direction (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device or relative to some other direction).

[0080] UE 115 and network entity 105 may support retransmission of data to increase the likelihood of data being successfully received. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is a technique for increasing the likelihood of correctly receiving data via a communication link (e.g., communication link 125, D2D communication link 135). HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer under poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, in which case the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific slot for data received via a previous symbol in the slot. In some other examples, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot or according to some other time interval.

[0081] In some cases, UE 115 may multiplex UCI on a PUSCH including uplink data transmission. UCI may include feedback (e.g., an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK)) and channel state information (CSI), among other things. In some examples, UCI may be mapped to resources (e.g., decoded modulation symbols) of a single transport block around a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbol. For example, a first set of DMRS symbols may be mapped to a first set of resources at a first time, and a second set of DMRS symbols may be mapped to a second set of resources at a second time, the second time being after the first time. UCI may be mapped to resources at a time between the first time and the second time (e.g., a time after the first time and before the second time). Therefore, regardless of the number of DMRS symbols in the PUSCH transmission, the modulated HARQ-ACK symbol begins mapping on the first available non-DMRS symbol after the first DMRS symbol.

[0082] In some cases, the CSI may include a first part (e.g., CSI part one) and a second part (e.g., CSI part two). Based on whether the PUSCH is punctured by HARQ-ACK (e.g., the number of HARQ-ACK information bits is less than or equal to 2) or rate matched by HARQ-ACK (e.g., the number of HARQ-ACK information bits is greater than 2), regardless of the number of DMRS symbols in the PUSCH transmission, CSI part one and CSI part two may be mapped starting on the first available non-DMRS symbol.

[0083] In the case of HARQ-ACK puncturing, CSI part one is mapped starting from a certain amount of reserved HARQ-ACK resources (e.g., CSI part one is not mapped to the reserved HARQ-ACK resources), while CSI part two and PUSCH may be mapped to resources reserved for HARQ-ACK (e.g., but not mapped to CSI part one resources). In the case of HARQ-ACK rate matching, HARQ-ACK may be mapped first, and CSI part one and CSI part two may be mapped subsequently. In this case, CSI part one and CSI part two are mapped to resources other than HARQ-ACK resources.

[0084] In some examples, if CG-UCI is present, the CG-UCI is treated as the same as HARQ-ACK. For example, if both HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI are present, the CG-UCI and HARQ-ACK are jointly encoded and then mapped to resources according to the rate matching procedure previously described for HARQ-ACK. If CG-UCI is present but HARQ-ACK is not present, the CG-UCI is first encoded and then mapped to resources according to the rate matching procedure previously described for HARQ-ACK.

[0085] In some cases, for HARQ-ACK, the number of resources (e.g., decoded modulation symbols) per layer (e.g., per layer of a single transport block) with UCI on the PUSCH of the UL-SCH may be generated according to Equation 1:

[0086] Equation 1: Among them, ACK is the number of HARQ-ACK bits, L ACK is the number of CRC bits of HARQ-ACK, (e.g., indicated by downlink control information (DCI) or configured by RRC), α is configured by scaling higher layer parameters, and l0 is the symbol index of the first OFDM symbol that does not carry DMRS for PUSCH after the first DMRS symbol in PUSCH transmission. UL-SCH and K r Obtained from the PDCCH that schedules PUSCH transmission, where C UL-SCH is the number of UL-SCH code blocks transmitted by PUSCH, and K r is the rth code block size of the UL-SCH sent by PUSCH. is the number of resource elements available for sending UCI in OFDM symbol 1. is the number of OFDM symbols in the PUSCH transmission duration, including all OFDM symbols used for DMRS, where for any OFDM symbol carrying DMRS, And for any OFDM symbol that does not carry DMRS for PUSCH, is the scheduled bandwidth in number of subcarriers for PUSCH transmissions in the current PUSCH transmission period of the transport block, and is the number of subcarriers in OFDM symbol 1 that carry a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) in a PUSCH transmission. In some examples, can refer to the amount of resources required for each bit of information, and May refer to the amount of resources that can be allocated to HARQ-ACK information.

[0087] In some cases, for CSI part one, the number of resources for UCI on PUSCH with UL-SCH per layer may be generated according to Equation 2:

[0088] Equation 2: Among them, CSI-1 is the number of bits in CSI part 1, L CSI-1 is the number of CRC bits, and (eg, indicated by DCI or configured by RRC). In some cases, if there is HARQ-ACK for transmission on the same PUSCH with UL-SCH but without CG-UCI, then Q′ ACK / CG-UCI =Q′ ACK , where if the number of HARQ-ACK information bits is greater than 2, then Q′ ACK is the number of decoded modulation symbols per layer of HARQ-ACK sent on PUSCH, and if the number of HARQ-ACK information bits is less than or equal to 2, then Q′ ACK is the number of reserved resources; if both HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI exist on the same PUSCH with UL-SCH, then Q′ ACK / CG-UCI =Q′ ACK , where Q′ ACK is the number of per-layer decoded modulation symbols for HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI sent on PUSCH; or Q′ if CG-UCI is present on the same PUSCH with UL-SCH but without HARQ-ACK ACK / CG-UCI =Q′ CG-UCI , where Q′ CG-UCI is the number of decoded modulation symbols per layer of CG-UCI sent on PUSCH. In some examples, May refer to the number of resources that can be allocated to CSI part one.

[0089] In some cases, for CSI part two, the number of resources for UCI on PUSCH with UL-SCH per layer may be generated according to Equation 3:

[0090] Equation 3: Among them, CSI-2 is the number of bits in CSI part 2, L CSI-2 is the number of CRC bits, and (eg, indicated by DCI or configured by RRC). In some cases, if there is HARQ-ACK for transmission on the same PUSCH with UL-SCH but without CG-UCI, then Q′ ACK / CG-UCI =Q′ ACK , where if the number of HARQ-ACK information bits is greater than 2, then Q′ ACK is the number of decoded modulation symbols per layer of HARQ-ACK sent on PUSCH, and if the number of HARQ-ACK information bits is less than or equal to 2, then Q′ ACK = 0; if both HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI exist on the same PUSCH with UL-SCH, then Q′ ACK / CG-UCI =Q′ ACK , where Q′ ACK is the number of decoded modulation symbols per layer for HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI sent on PUSCH; if CG-UCI is present on the same PUSCH with UL-SCH but without HARQ-ACK, then Q′ ACK / CG-UCI =Q′ CG-UGI , where Q′ CG-UCI is the number of decoded modulation symbols per layer of CG-UCI sent on PUSCH, and Q′ CSI-1 is the number of decoded modulation symbols per layer of CSI part one sent on PUSCH. In some examples, May refer to the amount of resources that can be allocated to CSI part two.

[0091] In some cases, for CG-UCI, the number of resources for UCI on PUSCH with UL-SCH per layer may be generated according to Equation 4:

[0092] Equation 4: Among them, CG-UCI is the number of bits of CG-UCI, L CG-UCI is the number of CRC bits, and

[0093] However, in some aspects, the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may support multiple (e.g., two) codewords and multiple (e.g., two) transport blocks for PUSCH transmissions (e.g., uplink transmissions with more than one layer). For example, the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may introduce or otherwise support multiple codewords and transport blocks (e.g., each transport block having different transmission parameters, such as MCS, new data indicator (NDI), and redundancy version (RV), etc.) as part of more than four layers (with eight transmit ports) transmission or as part of simultaneous multi-panel transmission, or both. Thus, the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may support one or more uplink DMRS, sounding reference signal (SRS), SRS resource indicator (SRI), or transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) (including codebook) enhancements to enable eight transmit port uplink operations to support four or more layers per UE in the uplink (e.g., for customer premises equipment (CPE), fixed wireless access (FWA), vehicles, or industrial equipment). As part of such DMRS, SRS, SRI, or TPMI enhancements, the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may support updates, rules, or constraints associated with consistency assumptions or full / non-full power modes. In addition, the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may facilitate simultaneous multi-panel uplink transmissions based on uplink precoding indications of the PUSCH to achieve higher uplink throughput or reliability (e.g., for FR2 or multi-TRP operation, assuming up to two TRPs and up to two panels, and, for example, for CPE, FWA, vehicles, or industrial equipment, if applicable) without introducing new codebooks for simultaneous multi-panel transmissions. In such aspects, considering multi-TRP operation based on a single DCI or multiple DCIs, the total number of layers on a group (e.g., all) of panels can be up to four layers, and the total number of codewords on a group (e.g., all) of panels can be up to two. Therefore, when the network entity 105 schedules two or more transport blocks for PUSCH and the UE 115 multiplexes UCI on the PUSCH, the procedure assuming a single transport block may lead to ambiguity or uncertainty between the UE 115 and the network entity 105 regarding which transport block should be considered for calculating the number of decoded modulation symbols for a given UCI.

[0094] When scheduling PUSCH with two transport blocks, in order to determine the number of coded modulation symbols per layer for each UCI, the UCI resource allocation procedure may be updated. For example, the number of coded modulation symbols (e.g., resources) for a given UCI may be calculated (by Q′) as follows UCI-type denoted by ): Based on the resources associated with one or more transport blocks in the transport block, the amount of resources required for a given UCI information is calculated (denoted by denoted by ); based on the resources associated with one or more transport blocks in the transport block, calculate the amount of resources that can be allocated to the given UCI information (denoted by denoted); and the number of resources required to obtain a given UCI information (e.g., ) and the amount of resources that can be allocated to a given UCI information (e.g., ) is taken as the number of decoded modulation symbols of UCI.

[0095] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports resource allocation of UCI with multiple scheduled transport blocks according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. In some examples, the wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the wireless communication system 200 may include a network entity 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be respectively as described herein. Figure 1 Depicted examples of network entity 105 and UE 115. The network entity 105-a and UE 115-a may be in wireless communication.

[0096] In some cases, the network entity 105-a may output a control message (e.g., UCI schedule 205) that includes a schedule for UL-SCH transmission with a single transport block. Based on the available resources of the transport block, the UE 115-a may determine which resources to use to multiplex the UCI. However, some wireless communication systems 200 may support the network entity 105-a scheduling multiple transport blocks (e.g., PUSCH is scheduled using two transport blocks). In some specific implementations, since the UE 115-a may assume that a single transport block is used for scheduling, the determination of how to multiplex the UCI on the resources of the transport block may be ambiguous or uncertain (e.g., the UE 115-a may not have a component for determining which transport block to use). Therefore, an updated technique for a UCI resource allocation procedure that can define how to multiplex UCI with multiple scheduled transport blocks may be beneficial (e.g., improving throughput, reliability, clear and more efficient utilization of communication resources, etc.).

[0097] In order to determine how to multiplex UCI with multiple scheduled transport blocks, various aspects of the present disclosure enable UE 115-a to determine (calculate) the number of resources per layer (e.g., per layer of one or more transport blocks in a transport block) for each UCI (e.g., multiple parts of UCI (such as HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, CSI part one, and CSI part two) may include different calculations).

[0098] In some examples, UE 115-a may receive a control message (e.g., DCI, MAC control element (MAC-CE) or RRC, etc.) that includes scheduling information for a UL-SCH (e.g., PUSCH) associated with multiple transport blocks. The transport blocks may include two transport blocks and two codewords, or more than two transport blocks and more than two codewords. In some cases, each transport block may include separate transmission parameters. For example, each transport block may include a separate MCS, NDI, RV, etc., so that each transport block may be different from or unique to other transport blocks scheduled by network entity 105-a.

[0099] In some implementations, the network entity 105-a may output a message indicating how to multiplex the UCI over one or more of the transport blocks. For example, the network entity 105-a may schedule multiple transport blocks in the message, and may also configure (e.g., indicate a rule, equation, or constraint) the UE 115-a in the same or a separate message as to how to perform a resource allocation procedure for each portion of the UCI. Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115-a may be configured (e.g., configured with a fixed rule based on a specification) as to how to perform a resource allocation procedure.

[0100] Then, UE 115-a may perform a resource allocation procedure. For example, UE 115-a may determine to multiplex UCI on one or more transport blocks in a plurality of scheduled transport blocks based on the control message. UE 115-a may determine (calculate) a first resource quantity (e.g., resources required to send UCI) and a second resource quantity (e.g., resources that can be used to send UCI) for UCI based on the plurality of scheduled transport blocks.

[0101] In some implementations, the method for determining the first resource quantity (eg, ) may include multiplexing the UCI on a first transport block in the scheduled transport blocks. The calculation may then include the number of code blocks corresponding to the first transport block in which the given UCI is multiplexed and the code block size of each code block. For example, UE 115-a may be configured to, when a UL-SCH (e.g., PUSCH) is scheduled with two or more transport blocks, multiplex the given UCI on all layers of the first transport block of the PUSCH, as described herein with reference to Figure 3 is described by Equation 5.

[0102] In some implementations, the method for determining the first resource quantity (eg, ) may include multiplexing the UCI across two or more transport blocks in the scheduled transport blocks. The calculation may then include the number of code blocks corresponding to the two or more transport blocks into which the given UCI is multiplexed and the code block size of each code block (e.g., the total number of bits across all layers of the two or more transport blocks). For example, UE 115-a may be configured to multiplex the given UCI across all layers of two or more transport blocks (e.g., all scheduled transport blocks) of the PUSCH when the UL-SCH (e.g., PUSCH) is scheduled with two or more transport blocks, as described herein with reference to Figure 3 is described by Equation 6.

[0103] In some implementations, determining a first amount of resources for a given UCI (eg, ) may include multiplexing the UCI across two or more of the scheduled transport blocks. The calculation may then include calculating an effective MCS (e.g., a highest or maximum effective MCS across the two or more transport blocks, or a lowest or minimum effective MCS across the two or more transport blocks), wherein the number of bits per layer corresponding to the transport block having the calculated effective MCS is used as the number of bits per layer across the two or more transport blocks. For example, UE 115-a may be configured to multiplex a given UCI across all layers of two or more transport blocks (e.g., all scheduled transport blocks) of a UL-SCH (e.g., PUSCH) when the UL-SCH is scheduled with two or more transport blocks, as described herein with reference to Figure 3 7. In some examples, utilizing an effective MCS (e.g., based on utilizing a maximum or minimum effective MCS) may result in a higher or lower (e.g., more or fewer) number of resources required for a given UCI. In some cases, the effective MCS may be the product of the modulation order and the coding rate.

[0104] In some cases, the network entity 105-a may output a second control message indicating a beta offset associated with the UCI. For example, the network entity 105-a may output a DCI, MAC-CE, or RRC including an indication of the beta offset. The UE 115-a may also use the indicated beta offset when calculating the first resource quantity.

[0105] In some examples, for determining the second resource quantity (eg, ) may include multiplexing a first UCI (e.g., a first part of the UCI (e.g., CSI part one or CSI part two)) and one or more second UCIs (e.g., a second part of the UCI (e.g., HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, and / or CSI part one)) on the same transport block. In some cases, the amount of resources that can be allocated to the first UCI (e.g., CSI part one and CSI part 2) may be determined by: calculating the amount of resources that have been allocated to the one or more second UCIs (e.g., determining a mapping indicating that the one or more second UCIs are mapped to resources of the UL-SCH before the first UCI); and excluding these resources when multiplexing the one or more second UCIs on the same transport block in which the given UCI (e.g., the first UCI) is multiplexed, as described herein with reference to Figure 3 8. For example, UE 115-a may calculate the number of resources that can be used for CSI part one. UE 115-a may determine how many resources can be used for HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI, and exclude that number of resources from the calculation of the resources that can be used for CSI part one. Similarly, UE 115-a may calculate the number of resources that can be used for CSI part two by excluding a certain number of resources that can be used for HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, and CSI part one from the calculation of the resources that can be used for CSI part two. In some cases, excluding one or more second UCIs that are multiplexed on the same transport block as the first UCI may mean that different UCIs (e.g., the first UCI and the second UCI) may be mapped to the same resources when different UCIs are mapped to layers of different transport blocks.

[0106] In some examples, for determining the second resource quantity (eg, ) may include multiplexing a first UCI (e.g., a first part of the UCI (e.g., CSI part one or CSI part two)) on a first transport block and multiplexing one or more second UCIs (e.g., a second part of the UCI (e.g., HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, and / or CSI part one) on one or more second transport blocks (e.g., one or more second transport blocks that may include the first transport block). For example, regardless of whether the one or more second UCIs are multiplexed on the same transport block in which the first UCI is multiplexed, excluding a certain amount of resources that have been allocated to the one or more second UCIs (e.g., determining a mapping indicating that the one or more second UCIs are mapped to resources of the UL-SCH before the first UCI), as described herein with reference to Figure 38. For example, UE 115-a may calculate the number of resources that can be used for CSI part one. UE 115-a may determine how many resources can be used for HARQ-ACK and CG-UCI, and exclude this number of resources from the calculation of the resources that can be used for CSI part one, regardless of which transport block these resources are multiplexed on. Similarly, UE 115-a may calculate the number of resources that can be used for CSI part two by excluding a certain number of resources that can be used for HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, and CSI part one from the calculation of the resources that can be used for CSI part two, regardless of which transport block these resources are multiplexed on. In some cases, excluding one or more second UCIs (regardless of which transport block these second UCIs are multiplexed on) may mean that different UCIs (e.g., first UCIs and second UCIs) may be mapped to different resources, regardless of whether the different UCIs are mapped to layers of the same transport block or layers of different transport blocks.

[0107] After determining the first resource quantity and the second resource quantity, UE 115-a may then determine a minimum value between the first resource quantity and the second resource quantity. For example, uplink resources 215 may include the number of resources (e.g., ) and the amount of resources that can be allocated to the UCI 210 (e.g., ). In some cases, the uplink resources 215 may be determined based on one or more of the various implementations and examples described herein. The UE 115-a may then use the uplink resources 215 to send the UCI 210 on the UL-SCH (e.g., PUSCH).

[0108] Figure 3 An example of a configuration 300 according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated, which supports resource allocation of UCI using multiple scheduled transport blocks. In some examples, the configuration 300 can be implemented by referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The various aspects of the wireless communication systems 100 and 200 described herein may be implemented by the wireless communication systems. For example, the configuration 300 may be implemented by the wireless communication systems 100 and 200 described herein. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the following description of configuration 300, the number of transport blocks 310, available resources 320, required resources 325, and uplink resources 305 may include the number of transport blocks 310, available resources 320, required resources 325, and uplink resources 305. Figure 3 For example, some resources or transport blocks may be added, and some resources may also be omitted. In some cases, transport block 310 may include multiple layers.

[0109] In some examples, UE 115 may determine resource allocation for UCI utilizing multiple scheduled transport blocks. For example, UE 115 may receive a control message that includes scheduling information for a UL-SCH associated with uplink resources 305. Uplink resources 305 may include at least transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b. Transport block 310-a may include resources reserved for a first reference signal 315-a (e.g., DMRS, PTRS, or other reference signal) and a second reference signal 315-b.

[0110] In some cases, the UE 115 may multiplex UCI between the first reference signal 315-a and the second reference signal 315-b. The resources after the first reference signal 315-a may be resources that can be used for UCI (e.g., available resources 320). In some cases, the resources before the first reference signal 315-a may also be resources that can be used for UCI (e.g., for CSI part one and CSI part two). In some cases, a portion of the available resources 320 may include resources required to send UCI (e.g., required resources 325). In some examples, the number of required resources 325 may be greater than the number of available resources 320, and vice versa. In order to calculate these two quantities and determine which resources are used to send UCI, the UE 115 may calculate the number of first resources (e.g., required resources 325) and the number of second resources (e.g., available resources 320) based on multiple transport blocks 310 (e.g., transport blocks 310-a and transport blocks 310-b).

[0111] In some implementations, the UE 115 may calculate the required resources 325 by calculating the sum (e.g., adding) of the number of code blocks, the size of the code blocks, and the size of each code block associated with a transport block (e.g., the first transport block 310-a or the second transport block 310-b) in the plurality of transport blocks according to Equation 5:

[0112] Equation 5: in is the number of code blocks of the UL-SCH transmitted by the PUSCH corresponding to the transport block (e.g., the first transport block 310-a) multiplexed with a given UCI (e.g., HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, CSI part one and / or CSI part two), and K r is the rth code block size of the UL-SCH transmitted by the PUSCH corresponding to the transport block (e.g., the first transport block 310-a) in which the given UCI is multiplexed. For example, if the given UCI is multiplexed on the first transport block 310-a, then x=1, and if the given UCI is multiplexed on the second transport block 310-b, then x=2. As referred to herein Figure 2 As described, given UCI It can be indicated by DCI or configured by RRC.

[0113] In some implementations, the UE 115 can calculate the required resources 325 by calculating the number of code blocks for each transport block in the plurality of transport blocks (e.g., transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b), the size of the code blocks, and the sum (e.g., adding) of the size of each code block, and combining each of the sums according to Equation 6:

[0114] Equation 6: in is the number of code blocks of the UL-SCH transmitted by the PUSCH corresponding to the first transport block 310-a, K r is the rth code block size of the UL-SCH transmitted by the PUSCH corresponding to the first transport block 310-a, is the number of code blocks of the UL-SCH transmitted by the PUSCH corresponding to the second transport block 310-b, and K r is the rth code block size of the UL-SCH sent by the PUSCH corresponding to the second transport block 310-b.

[0115] In some implementations, the UE 115 may calculate the required resources 325 by calculating an effective MCS (e.g., a highest or maximum effective MCS among two or more transport blocks, or a lowest or minimum effective MCS among two or more transport blocks). For example, the UE 115 may calculate a combination of the number of layers of each transport block 310 (e.g., both transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b), and a product (e.g., multiplication) of the combination and the effective MCS (e.g., the maximum effective MCS or the minimum effective MCS). In some cases, calculating the effective MCS of the transport block 310-a may include: calculating a combination (e.g., a sum) of the sizes of each code block associated with the transport block 310-a; and calculating a separation (e.g., division) of the combination by the number of layers of the transport block 310-a.

[0116] In some cases, the UE 115 may calculate the required resources 325 using the effective MCS according to Equation 7:

[0117] Equation 7: in is the number of code blocks of the UL-SCH transmitted by the PUSCH corresponding to the transport block 310 with the highest effective MCS or the lowest effective MCS, K r is the rth code block size of the UL-SCH of the PUSCH transmission corresponding to the transport block 310 with the highest effective MCS or the lowest effective MCS, is the layer number corresponding to the transport block 310 having the highest effective MCS or the lowest effective MCS, and is the number of layers corresponding to the first transport block 310-a, and is the layer number corresponding to the second transport block 310-b. In some cases, the UE 115 may determine to utilize the highest effective MCS or the lowest effective MCS based on a control message, a fixed rule, or some other form of UE configuration.

[0118] In some examples, UE 115 may calculate available resources 320 for a given UCI (e.g., a portion of the UCI (e.g., CSI part one or CSI part two)) by calculating the difference between the amount of resources available for the UCI (e.g., all UCIs) and the amount of resources associated with other UCIs (e.g., HARQ-ACK, CG-UCI, or CSI part one) according to Equation 8:

[0119] Equation 8: in is the amount of resources that have been allocated to other UCIs.

[0120] For example, in some cases, the number of resources associated with other UCIs (e.g. ) may depend on whether the given UCI and other UCI are multiplexed on the same transport block 310. In the first scenario, if the given UCI is multiplexed on the transport block 310-a and other UCIs are also multiplexed on the transport block 310-a, then is the amount of resources allocated to other UCIs, and then if other UCIs are not multiplexed on transport block 310-a, then In the second scenario, no matter on which transport block 310 a given UCI and other UCI are multiplexed, is the amount of resources allocated to other UCIs if other UCIs are not multiplexed on any transport block 310 (e.g., PUSCH) in which a given UCI is multiplexed, then

[0121] For example, when calculating the amount of resources that can be used for CSI part one, if HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI is multiplexed on transport block 310-a and CSI part one is multiplexed on transport block 310-b (e.g., HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI and CSI part one are multiplexed on different transport blocks 310), each of which is multiplexed on a single transport block 310, then in the first scenario, the amount of resources allocated to other UCI (e.g., Q′ ACK / CG-UCI ) can be zero. Alternatively, in the second scenario, the number of resources allocated to other UCIs (e.g., Q′ ACK / CG-UCI ) can be the number of resources allocated to HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI.

[0122] Regardless of the first scenario or the second scenario (e.g., in the first scenario or the second scenario), if HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI and CSI part one are multiplexed on the same transport block 310-a (each is multiplexed on a single transport block 310), HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI is multiplexed on both transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b and the CSI part is multiplexed on transport block 310-a (e.g., multiplexed on one of the two transport blocks 310), or HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI is multiplexed on transport block 310-a (e.g., multiplexed on one of the two transport blocks 310) and CSI part one is multiplexed on transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b, the number of resources allocated to other UCI (e.g., Q′) ACK / CG-UCI ) can be the number of resources allocated to HARQ-ACK / CG-UCI.

[0123] In another example, when calculating the amount of resources that can be used for CSI part two, if CSI part one is multiplexed on transport block 310-a and CSI part two is multiplexed on transport block 310-b (e.g., CSI part one and CSI part two are multiplexed on different transport blocks 310), each of which is multiplexed on a single transport block 310, then in the first scenario, the amount of resources allocated to other UCIs (e.g., Q′ CSI-1 ) can be zero. Alternatively, in the second scenario, the number of resources allocated to other UCIs (e.g., Q′ CSI-1 ) can be the number of resources allocated to CSI part 1.

[0124] Regardless of the first scenario or the second scenario (e.g., in the first scenario or the second scenario), if CSI part one and CSI part two are multiplexed on the same transport block 310-a (each is multiplexed on a single transport block 310), CSI part one is multiplexed on both transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b and CSI part two is multiplexed on transport block 310-a (e.g., multiplexed on one of the two transport blocks 310), or CSI part one is multiplexed on transport block 310-a (e.g., multiplexed on one of the two transport blocks 310) and CSI part two is multiplexed on transport block 310-a and transport block 310-b, the number of resources allocated to other UCIs (e.g., Q′) CSI-1 ) can be the number of resources allocated to CSI part 1.

[0125] Additionally or alternatively, when calculating the amount of resources that can be used for CSI part 2, the amount of resources allocated to HARQ-ACK or CG-UCI (e.g., Q′ ACK / CG-UCI). For example, for CSI part 2, Q′ may be determined by replacing CSI part 1 with CSI part 2 based on similar rules (eg, configuration) as CSI part 1. ACK / CG-CUI .

[0126] After determining the number of available resources 320 and the number of required resources 325, the UE 115 may use the minimum between the two resource quantities as the number of resources for UCI. The UE 115 may then send the UCI to the network entity 105 on the UL-SCH (eg, PUSCH).
