Description

Technical Field

[0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and to techniques and apparatus for simultaneous physical uplink control channel transmissions. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that can support 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).

[0003] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communications for wireless communication devices, such as a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a network node via downlink communications and uplink communications. A "downlink" (or "DL") refers to a communication link from a network node to a UE, and an "uplink" (or "UL") refers to a communication link from a UE to a network node. Some wireless networks may support device-to-device communications, such as via a local link (e.g., a side link (SL), a wireless local area network (WLAN) link, and / or a wireless personal area network (WPAN) link, etc.).

[0004] The above-mentioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at a city, country, region and / or global level. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, and using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and / or single carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, and supporting beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation, so as to better support mobile broadband Internet access. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the invention

[0030] The various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms, and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. Instead, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the protection scope of the present disclosure will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, 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 may 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 implemented using other structures, functions, or structures and functions in addition to or different from the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0031] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0032] Although various aspects may be described herein using terms generally associated with 5G or new radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or post-5G RATs (e.g., 6G).

[0033] Figure 1 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or elements of a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, etc. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as network node 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 110d), one user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other entities. The network node 110 is a network node that communicates with the UE 120. As shown in the figure, the network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, the network node 110 may be a converged network node, which means that the converged network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, the network node 110 may be a decomposed network node (sometimes referred to as a decomposed base station), which means that the network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among two or more nodes (such as one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)).

[0034] In some examples, the network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with the UE 120 via a radio access link, such as an RU. In some examples, the network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a fronthaul link or a midhaul link, such as a DU. In some examples, the network node 110 is or includes a network node that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or communicates with a core network via a backhaul link, such as a CU. In some examples, the network node 110 (such as an aggregated network node 110 or a decomposed network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and / or one or more DUs. For example, the network node 110 may include an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), a DU, a RU, a CU, a mobility element of a network, a core network node, a network element, a network equipment, a RAN node, or a combination thereof. In some examples, network nodes 110 may be interconnected to each other or to one or more other network nodes 110 in wireless network 100 via various types of fronthaul, midhaul, and / or backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections, air interfaces, or virtual networks) using any suitable transport network.

[0035] In some examples, the network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​the network node 110 and / or the network node subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. The network node 110 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., a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 120 with a service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 120 with a service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by a UE 120 associated with the femto cell (e.g., a UE 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A network node 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. A network node 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico network node. The network node 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto network node or a home network node. Figure 1In the example shown, network node 110a may be a macro network node for macro cell 102a, network node 110b may be a pico network node for pico cell 102b, and network node 110c may be a femto network node for femto cell 102c. The network node may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cells may move depending on the location of the mobile network node 110 (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0036] In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to an aggregated base station, a decomposed base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, a "base station" or "network node" may refer to a CU, a DU, a RU, a near real-time (near RT) RAN intelligent controller (RIC) or a non-real-time (non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to a device configured to perform one or more functions (such as those described herein in conjunction with network node 110). In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to a plurality of devices configured to perform one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of a number of different devices (which may be located in the same geographic location or in different geographic locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to repeat the execution of at least a portion of the function, and the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to any one or more of these different devices. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one or more virtual base stations or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one of the base station functions but not the other. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0037] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive transmissions of data from an upstream node (e.g., a network node 110 or a UE 120) and transmit transmissions of data to a downstream node (e.g., a UE 120 or a network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. Figure 1 In the example shown, a network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) may communicate with a network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and a UE 120d to facilitate communications between the network node 110a and the UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay network node, a relay node, a relay, etc.

[0038] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes different types of network nodes 110, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro network node may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while a pico network node, a femto network node, and a relay network node may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 watt to 2 watts).

[0039] The network controller 130 may be coupled to or in communication with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for the network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via a backhaul communication link or a midhaul communication link. The network nodes 110 may also communicate directly with each other or indirectly via a wireless backhaul communication link or a wired backhaul communication link. In some aspects, the network controller 130 may be or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0040] UE 120 can be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 can be stationary or mobile. UE 120 can include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and / or a subscriber unit. UE 120 can be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), 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 computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, a UE function of a network node, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0041] Some UEs 120 may be considered as machine type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags that may communicate with a network node, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered as customer premises equipment. UE 120 may be included in a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as a processor component and / or a memory component. In some examples, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, a processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and a memory component (e.g., a memory) may be operationally coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0042] In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a specific RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. Frequency may 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.

[0043] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using network node 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other). For example, UE 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, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by network node 110.

[0044] The devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz-7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz-52.6 GHz). It should be understood that, although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as a "below 6 GHz" band in various documents and articles. A similar naming problem sometimes occurs with respect to FR2, which is often (interchangeably) referred to as a "millimeter wave" band in documents and articles, although different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) identified as a "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0045] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR research has identified the operating bands for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125GHz-24.25GHz). The frequency bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, and therefore the features of FR1 and / or FR2 can be effectively extended to mid-band frequencies. In addition, currently exploring higher frequency bands to extend 5G NR operation to more than 52.6GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designation FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6GHz-71GHz), FR4 (52.6GHz-114.25GHz) and FR5 (114.25GHz-300GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0046] Considering the above examples, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that if the term "below 6 GHz" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may be lower than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. In addition, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that if the term "millimeter wave" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and / or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0047] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communications manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communications manager 140 may receive a first indication for sending first uplink control information (UCI) on a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource in a time slot and a second indication for sending second UCI on a second PUCCH resource in the time slot, wherein the first UCI includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information associated with a first control resource set pool index value and the second UCI includes HARQ feedback information associated with a second control resource set pool index value, and wherein at least one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource is a multi-slot PUCCH resource; and receive a first indication for sending a first uplink control information (UCI) on a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource in a time slot and a second indication for sending a second UCI on a second PUCCH resource in the time slot. The communication manager 140 may also include one or more other UCIs on a PUCCH resource set, the one or more other UCIs including channel state information or scheduling request information; performing UCI prioritization on the first PUCCH resource and the PUCCH resource set according to a set of prioritization rules, wherein the UCI prioritization generates one or more non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources and one or more single-slot PUCCH resources, the one or more single-slot PUCCH resources not overlapping with any of the one or more multi-slot PUCCH resources; and transmitting at least the first UCI and the second UCI in the time slot based at least in part on the prioritization. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0048] In some aspects, the communication manager 140 may receive a first set of one or more control signals for scheduling a first plurality of UCIs in a first plurality of PUCCH resources within a time slot, wherein the first plurality of UCIs include at least one of HARQ feedback information, channel state information, or scheduling request information, and each of the first plurality of PUCCH resources is associated with a first control resource set pool index value; receive a second set of one or more control signals for scheduling a second plurality of UCIs in a second plurality of PUCCH resources within the time slot, wherein the second plurality of UCIs include at least one of HARQ feedback information, channel state information, or scheduling request information, and each of the second plurality of PUCCH resources is associated with a second control resource set pool index value, and wherein the first plurality of PUCCH At least one of the resources and the second plurality of PUCCH resources is a multi-slot PUCCH resource; performing a first UCI multiplexing or prioritization on the first plurality of PUCCH resources according to one or more UCI multiplexing or prioritization rules, wherein the first UCI multiplexing or prioritization produces a first one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources; performing a second UCI multiplexing or prioritization on the second plurality of PUCCH resources according to the one or more UCI multiplexing or prioritization rules, wherein the second UCI multiplexing or prioritization produces a second one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources; and sending at least a subset of the first plurality of UCI on the first one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources and sending at least a subset of the second plurality of UCI on the second one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0049] As indicated above, Figure 1 Other examples can be found in the Figure 1 The examples described are different.

[0050] Figure 2 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a network node 110 communicating with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as T antennas (T≥1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R antennas (R≥1). The network node 110 of example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as an antenna 234 and a modem 254. In some examples, the network node 110 may include an interface, a communication component, or another component that facilitates communication with the UE 120 or another network node. Some network nodes 110 may not include a radio frequency component that facilitates direct communication with the UE 120, such as one or more CUs or one or more DUs.

[0051] At the network node 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data intended for a UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120) from a data source 212. The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE 120. The network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE 120, and provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSS) or secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). The 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, where applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems) (shown as modems 232a to 232t). For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of the modem 232. Each modem 232 may process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) using a corresponding modulator component to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or upconvert) the output sample stream using a corresponding modulator component to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a through 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (eg, T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (eg, T antennas) (shown as antennas 234a through 234t).

[0052] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) may receive downlink signals from the network node 110 and / or other network nodes 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems) (shown as modems 254a to 254r). For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of the modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modem 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and may provide detected symbols. The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to the data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to the controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or a CQI parameter, among other things. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0053] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network node 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0054] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc. Antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (in a single housing or multiple housings), sets of coplanar antenna elements, sets of non-coplanar antenna elements, and / or coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components (such as, Figure 2 One or more antenna elements of one or more components in.

[0055] On the uplink, at the UE 120, the transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from the data source 262 and control information from the controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be pre-decoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, where applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and sent to the network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, and / or a TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (eg, controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform the functions described herein (eg, with reference to Figures 7 to 13 ) or any aspects of any of the methods described herein.

[0056] At the network node 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component of the modem 232 shown as DEMOD), detected by the MIMO detector 236 (where applicable), and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The network node 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network node 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem 232 of the network node 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the network node 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform operations described herein (e.g., with reference to Figures 7 to 13 ) or any aspects of any of the methods described herein.

[0057] The controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other components of the network node 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with simultaneous PUCCH transmission, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component of the Fig.11 Process 1100, Fig.12 1200 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program codes for network node 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly or after compilation, conversion and / or interpretation) by one or more processors of network node 110 and / or UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, UE 120 and / or network node 110 to perform or direct, for example, Fig.11 Process 1100, Fig.12 The process 1200 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, and / or interpreting instructions, etc.

[0058] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) includes means for receiving a first indication for sending a first UCI on a first PUCCH resource in a time slot and a second indication for sending a second UCI on a second PUCCH resource in the time slot, wherein the first UCI includes HARQ feedback information associated with a first control resource set pool index value, and the second UCI includes HARQ feedback information associated with a second control resource set pool index value, and wherein at least one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource is a multi-slot PUCCH resource; and means for receiving a control for scheduling transmission of one or more other UCIs on a set of PUCCH resources in the time slot. A component for sending a signal, the one or more other UCIs including channel state information or scheduling request information; a component for performing UCI prioritization on the first PUCCH resource and the set of PUCCH resources according to a set of prioritization rules, wherein the UCI prioritization produces one or more non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources and one or more single-slot PUCCH resources, the one or more single-slot PUCCH resources not overlapping with any of the one or more multi-slot PUCCH resources; and / or a component for sending at least the first UCI and the second UCI in the slot based at least in part on the prioritization. The components for the UE to perform the operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the following: the communication manager 140, the antenna 252, the modem 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, the TX MIMO processor 266, the controller / processor 280, or the memory 282.

[0059] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) includes a first set of one or more control signals for scheduling a first plurality of UCIs in a first plurality of PUCCH resources in a time slot, wherein the first plurality of UCIs includes at least one of HARQ feedback information, channel state information, or scheduling request information, and each PUCCH resource in the first plurality of PUCCH resources is associated with a first control resource set pool index value; and a second set of one or more control signals for scheduling a second plurality of UCIs in a second plurality of PUCCH resources in the time slot, wherein the second plurality of UCIs includes at least one of HARQ feedback information, channel state information, or scheduling request information, and each PUCCH resource in the second plurality of PUCCH resources is associated with a second control resource set pool index value, and wherein the first plurality of PUCCH resources and the second plurality of PUCCH resources are associated with a second control resource set pool index value. At least one of the PUCCH resources is a multi-slot PUCCH resource; a component for performing a first UCI multiplexing or prioritization on the first plurality of PUCCH resources according to one or more UCI multiplexing or prioritization rules, wherein the first UCI multiplexing or prioritization produces a first one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources; a component for performing a second UCI multiplexing or prioritization on the second plurality of PUCCH resources according to the one or more UCI multiplexing or prioritization rules, wherein the second UCI multiplexing or prioritization produces a second one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources; and / or a component for sending at least a subset of the first plurality of UCI on the first one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources and sending at least a subset of the second plurality of UCI on the second one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources.

[0060] Although Figure 2 The blocks in the 200 and 210 are illustrated as distinct components, but the functionality described above for these blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functionality described for the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller / processor 280.

[0061] As indicated above, Figure 2 Other examples can be found in the Figure 2 The examples described are different.

[0062] The deployment of a communication system (such as a 5G NR system) can be arranged with various components or components in a variety of ways. In a 5G NR system or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of a network, a RAN node, a core network node, a network element, a base station or network equipment can be implemented in an aggregated or decomposed architecture. For example, a base station (such as a node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR BS, a 5G NB, an access point (AP), a TRP or a cell, etc.) or one or more units (or one or more components) that perform base station functionality can be implemented as an aggregated base station (also referred to as an independent base station or a monolithic base station) or a decomposed base station. "Network entity" or "network node" may refer to a decomposed base station or one or more units of a decomposed base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs, or a combination thereof).

[0063] An aggregated base station (e.g., an aggregated network node) may be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or unit). A decomposed base station (e.g., a decomposed network node) may be configured to utilize a protocol stack physically or logically distributed among two or more units (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, a CU may be implemented within a network node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually distributed across one or more other network nodes. A DU may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of a CU, a DU, and a RU may also be implemented as a virtual unit, such as a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU), and the like.

[0064] Base station type operations or network designs may take into account the aggregated nature of base station functionality. For example, a decomposed base station may be utilized in an IAB network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (such as a network configuration initiated by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)) to facilitate the scaling of a communication system by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed separately. A decomposed base station may include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality implemented virtually for at least one unit, which may enable flexibility in network design. Individual units of a decomposed base station may be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the decomposed base station.

[0065] Figure 33 is a diagram illustrating an example decomposed base station architecture 300 according to the present disclosure. The decomposed base station architecture 300 may include a CU 310, which may communicate directly with a core network 320 via a backhaul link, or indirectly with the core network 320 through one or more decomposed control units (such as a near-RT RIC 325 via an E2 link, or a non-RT RIC 315 associated with a service management and orchestration (SMO) framework 305, or both). The CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via respective midhaul links, such as via an F1 interface. Each of the DUs 330 may communicate with one or more RUs 340 via respective fronthaul links. Each of the RUs 340 may communicate with one or more UEs 120 via respective radio frequency (RF) access links. In some implementations, a UE 120 may be served simultaneously by multiple RUs 340.

[0066] Each of the units (including CU 310, DU 330, RU 340) and the near-RT RIC 325, non-RT RIC 315, and SMO framework 305 may include or be coupled to one or more interfaces configured to receive or send signals, data, or information (collectively referred to as signals) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each of the units or an associated processor or controller that provides instructions to one or more communication interfaces of the corresponding unit may be configured to communicate with one or more of the other units via a transmission medium. In some examples, each of these units may include a wired interface and a wireless interface, the wired interface being configured to receive signals or send signals to one or more of the other units via a wired transmission medium, and the wireless interface may include a receiver, a transmitter, or a transceiver (such as an RF transceiver), which is configured to receive signals or send signals to one or more of the other units via a wireless transmission medium, or both.

[0067] In some aspects, the CU 310 may host one or more higher layer control functions. Such control functions may include radio resource control (RRC) functions, packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) functions, or service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) functions, etc. Each control function may be implemented using an interface that is configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 310. The CU 310 may be configured to handle user plane functionality (e.g., central unit-user plane (CU-UP) functionality), control plane functionality (e.g., central unit-control plane (CU-CP) functionality), or a combination thereof. In some specific implementations, the CU 310 may be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. When implemented in an O-RAN configuration, the CU-UP unit may communicate bidirectionally with the CU-CP unit via an interface such as an E1 interface. As needed, the CU 310 may be implemented to communicate with the DU 330 for network control and signaling.

[0068] Each DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions for controlling the operation of one or more RUs 340. In some aspects, the DU 330 may host one or more of a radio link control (RLC) layer, a MAC layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers, at least in part, according to a functional partition such as that defined by 3GPP. In some aspects, one or more high PHY layers may be implemented by one or more modules for forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation and demodulation, etc. In some aspects, the DU 330 may also host one or more low PHY layers, such as one or more modules for fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming or physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, etc. Each layer (which may also be referred to as a module) may be implemented using an interface that is configured to communicate signals with other layers (and modules) hosted by the DU 330 or with control functions hosted by the CU 310.

[0069] Each RU 340 may implement lower layer functionality. In some deployments, the RU 340 controlled by the DU 330 may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions based on functional splits (e.g., functional splits defined by 3GPP) such as lower layer functional splits, or low PHY layer functions such as performing FFT, performing iFFT, digital beamforming, or PRACH extraction and filtering, etc. In this architecture, each RU 340 may be operated to handle over-the-air (OTA) communications with one or more UEs 120. In some specific implementations, real-time and non-real-time aspects of communicating with the control plane and user plane of the RU 340 may be controlled by the corresponding DU 330. In some scenarios, this configuration may enable each DU 330 and CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture such as a vRAN architecture.

[0070] The SMO framework 305 may be configured to support RAN deployment and configuration of non-virtualized network elements and virtualized network elements. For non-virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 may be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements, which may be managed via an operation and maintenance interface (such as an O1 interface). For virtualized network elements, the SMO framework 305 may be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (such as an open cloud (O-Cloud) platform 390) to perform network element lifecycle management (such as instantiating virtualized network elements) via a cloud computing platform interface (such as an O2 interface). Such virtualized network elements may include, but are not limited to, CU 310, DU 330, RU 340, non-RT RIC 315, and near-RT RIC 325. In some specific implementations, the SMO framework 305 may communicate with hardware aspects of the 4G RAN (such as an open eNB (O-eNB) 311) via the O1 interface. Additionally, in some implementations, the SMO framework 305 can communicate directly with each of the one or more RUs 340 via a corresponding O1 interface. The SMO framework 305 can also include a non-RTRIC 315 configured to support the functionality of the SMO framework 305.

[0071] The non-RT RIC 315 may be configured to include logic functions that implement non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) workflows including model training and updating, or policy-based guidance of applications / features in the near-RT RIC 325. The non-RT RIC 315 may be coupled to or communicate with the near-RT RIC 325 (such as via an A1 interface). The near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to include logic functions that implement near-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions through an interface (such as via an E2 interface) that connects one or more CUs 310, one or more DUs 330, or both, and the O-eNB with the near-RT RIC 325.

[0072] In some implementations, in order to generate an AI / ML model to be deployed in the near-RT RIC 325, the non-RT RIC 315 may receive parameters or external enrichment information from an external server. Such information may be utilized by the near-RT RIC 325 and may be received from a non-network data source or from a network function at the SMO framework 305 or the non-RT RIC 315. In some examples, the non-RT RIC 315 or the near-RT RIC 325 may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the non-RT RIC 315 may monitor long-term trends and patterns of performance and employ AI / ML models to perform corrective actions through the SMO framework 305 (such as via reconfiguration of the O1 interface) or via the creation of RAN management policies (such as A1 interface policies).

[0073] As indicated above, Figure 3 Other examples can be found in the Figure 3 The examples described are different.

[0074] Figure 4 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of physical channels and reference signals in a wireless network according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the downlink channel and the downlink reference signal may carry information from the network node 110 to the UE 120 , and the uplink channel and the uplink reference signal may carry information from the UE 120 to the network node 110 .

[0075] As shown, the downlink channel may include a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carrying downlink control information (DCI), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carrying downlink data, or a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) carrying system information, etc. In some aspects, PDSCH communication may be scheduled by PDCCH communication. As further shown, the uplink channel may include a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying uplink control information (UCI), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) carrying uplink data, or a physical random access channel (PRACH) for initial network access, etc. In some aspects, UE 120 may send confirmation (ACK) or negative confirmation (NACK) feedback (e.g., ACK / NACK feedback or ACK / NACK information) in the UCI on PUCCH and / or PUSCH.

[0076] As further shown in the figure, the downlink reference signal may include a synchronization signal block (SSB), a channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a positioning reference signal (PRS) or a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), etc. As also shown in the figure, the uplink reference signal may include a sounding reference signal (SRS), a DMRS, or a PTRS, etc.

[0077] The SSB may carry information used for initial network acquisition and synchronization, such as a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a PBCH, and a PBCH DMRS. The SSB is sometimes referred to as a synchronization signal / PBCH (SS / PBCH) block. In some aspects, the network node 110 may send multiple SSBs on multiple corresponding beams, and the SSBs may be used for beam selection.

[0078] The CSI-RS may carry information for downlink channel estimation (e.g., downlink CSI acquisition), which may be used for scheduling, link adaptation, or beam management, etc. The network node 110 may configure a CSI-RS set for the UE 120, and the UE 120 may measure the configured CSI-RS set. Based at least in part on these measurements, the UE 120 may perform channel estimation and may report channel estimation parameters to the network node 110 (e.g., in a CSI report), such as a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI), a layer indicator (LI), a rank indicator (RI), or a reference signal received power (RSRP), etc. The network node 110 may use the CSI reports to select transmission parameters for downlink communications to the UE 120, such as the number of transmission layers (e.g., rank), a precoding matrix (e.g., a precoder), a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), or to refine the downlink beams (e.g., using a beam refinement procedure or a beam management procedure), among others.

[0079] DMRS may carry information for estimating a radio channel to demodulate an associated physical channel (e.g., PDCCH, PDSCH, PBCH, PUCCH, or PUSCH). The design and mapping of DMRS may be specific to the physical channel that the DMRS is used to estimate. DMRS is UE-specific, may be beamformed, may be restricted to scheduled resources (e.g., rather than being sent over a wideband), and may be sent only when necessary. As shown, DMRS is used for both downlink and uplink communications.

[0080] PTRS may carry information for compensating for oscillator phase noise. Typically, phase noise increases with increasing oscillator carrier frequency. Therefore, PTRS may be utilized at high carrier frequencies (such as millimeter wave frequencies) to mitigate phase noise. PTRS may be used to track the phase of a local oscillator and to achieve suppression of phase noise and common phase error (CPE). As shown, PTRS is used for both downlink communications (e.g., on PDSCH) and uplink communications (e.g., on PUSCH).

[0081] The PRS may carry information for implementing timing or ranging measurements of the UE 120 based on signals sent by the network node 110 to improve observed time difference of arrival (OTDOA) positioning performance. For example, the PRS may be a pseudo-random quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) sequence mapped in a diagonal pattern with a frequency offset and a time offset to avoid conflicts with cell-specific reference signals and control channels (e.g., PDCCH). In general, the PRS may be designed to improve the detectability of the UE 120, which may need to detect downlink signals from multiple neighboring network nodes in order to perform OTDOA-based positioning. Therefore, the UE 120 may receive PRS from multiple cells (e.g., a reference cell and one or more neighboring cells), and may report a reference signal time difference (RSTD) based on OTDOA measurements associated with the PRS received from the multiple cells. In some aspects, the network node 110 may then calculate the position of the UE 120 based on the RSTD measurements reported by the UE 120.

[0082] The SRS may carry information for uplink channel estimation, which may be used for scheduling, link adaptation, pre-decoder selection, or beam management, etc. The network node 110 may configure one or more SRS resource sets for the UE 120, and the UE 120 may send the SRS on the configured SRS resource sets. The SRS resource sets may have configured usages, such as uplink CSI acquisition, downlink CSI acquisition for reciprocity-based operation, uplink beam management, etc. The network node 110 may measure the SRS, may perform channel estimation based at least in part on these measurements, and may use the SRS measurements to configure communications with the UE 120.

[0083] As indicated above, Figure 4 Other examples can be found in the Figure 4 The examples described are different.

[0084] FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C5 is a diagram illustrating examples 500, 510, 520, 530, and 540 of UCI multiplexing and prioritization according to the present disclosure. In some cases, PUCCH resources may overlap in a time slot, and at least one of the PUCCH resources may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource (e.g., a PUCCH resource spanning multiple time slots). In some cases, UE120 may initiate a UCI multiplexing or prioritization procedure to resolve overlapping PUCCH resources. Rotating overlapping PUCCH resources may include selecting a subset of PUCCH resources to be sent in a time slot (e.g., one or more PUCCH resources, but less than all PUCCH resources) and / or multiplexing overlapping PUCCH resources to be sent in a time slot. This may result in non-overlapping PUCCH resources in a time slot. For the resulting non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources, each multi-slot PUCCH resource may not overlap with any other PUCCH resource. For the generated single-slot PUCCH resources, each single-slot PUCCH resource may not overlap with any of the generated multi-slot PUCCH resources. However, the generated single-slot PUCCH resource may (or may not) overlap with another single-slot PUCCH resource. In some cases, if the generated single-slot PUCCH resource overlaps with another single-slot PUCCH resource, UE 120 may resolve the overlap across multiple single-slot PUCCH resources, such as Figure 6 as described in the example.

[0085] As described herein, UE 120 may be configured to resolve overlap between two or more multi-slot PUCCH resources and / or between a multi-slot PUCCH resource and a single-slot PUCCH resource. For example, UE 120 may resolve two or more overlapping PUCCH resources in a time slot within the same PUCCH group, wherein at least one of the PUCCH resources is a multi-slot PUCCH resource. In a first example step (step 1), UE 120 may resolve overlap of PUCCH resources having the same UCI priority. In this case, UE 120 may transmit on a PUCCH resource having an earlier start time. In a second example step (step 2), UE 120 may resolve overlap of PUCCH resources having different UCI priorities. In this case, UE 120 may transmit on a PUCCH resource having a higher (or highest) UCI ​​priority in an overlapping time slot. In some cases, priorities may be defined as follows (from highest priority to lowest priority): hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) (HARQ-ACK), scheduling request (SR), channel state information (CSI) with higher priority, and CSI with lower priority. In some cases, in overlapping time slots, deprioritized UCI (e.g., UCI with lower priority) may be discarded without any delay in UCI transmission. However, there may be no impact on the transmission of deprioritized UCI in the remaining non-overlapping time slots. In some cases, it is not desirable for the UE 120 to have a set of overlapping single-slot PUCCH resources that do not overlap with the following multi-slot PUCCH resources: these multi-slot PUCCH resources are to be multiplexed into single-slot PUCCH resources that overlap with the multi-slot PUCCH resources.

[0086] like( Figure 5A As shown in example 500 of ), PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. For example, the transmission of PUCCH1 may span slot 1 and slot 2. PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. Since PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 have the same priority, this may be considered an error condition because UE 120 may not know which PUCCH to send or to drop.

[0087] As shown in example 510, PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 may have the same priority. PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI1). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. In step 1, UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH1 and PUCCH2. Since PUCCH1 starts in an earlier slot than PUCCH2, PUCCH2 may be discarded in slot 2. In step 2, UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH1 and PUCCH3. Since UCI1 has a higher priority than UCI3, PUCCH3 may be discarded in slot 2.

[0088] like( Figure 5B As shown in example 520 of ), PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including CSI (CSI1). PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH1 and PUCCH3 may have the same priority. In step 1, UE 120 may resolve the conflict between PUCCH1 and PUCCH3. Since PUCCH1 starts in an earlier slot than PUCCH3, PUCCH3 may be discarded in slot 2. In step 2, UE 120 may resolve the conflict between PUCCH1 and PUCCH2. Since UCI2 has a higher priority than UCI1, PUCCH1 may be discarded in slot 2. However, PUCCH1 may still be sent in slot 1.

[0089] like( Figure 5CAs shown in Example 530 in FIG. 1 , PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 may overlap in slot 2. In this case, UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 by multiplexing PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 to generate PUCCH4 including UCI2 and UCI3. This is possible because PUCCH4 generated after multiplexing PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 does not overlap with PUCCH1.

[0090] As shown in example 540, PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 may overlap in slot 2. In this case, UE 120 may not be able to resolve the overlap between PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 by multiplexing PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 because PUCCH4 generated after multiplexing PUCCH2 and PUCCH3 overlaps with PUCCH1. Therefore, this may be considered an error condition because UE 120 may not be able to determine which PUCCH to send or to discard.

[0091] As indicated above, FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C Other examples can be found in the FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C The examples described are different.

[0092] Figure 6600 is a diagram illustrating an example of UCI multiplexing and prioritization according to the present disclosure. In some cases, when a PUCCH resource including HARQ-ACK or CSI overlaps with a PUSCH, the UCI associated with the PUCCH resource may be multiplexed on the PUSCH. In a first example step (step 1), the UE 120 may resolve overlapping PUCCH resources for UCI multiplexing. This may be performed as shown in conjunction with examples 500-540, and non-overlapping PUCCH resources may be generated. In a second example step (step 2), one or more UCIs from step 1 may be multiplexed with the PUSCH based at least in part on the corresponding PUCCH resource overlapping with the PUSCH. In this case, the PUCCH may not be sent separately. In some cases, a beta offset signaled in an uplink grant (e.g., using DCI 0_1 / 0_2) or configured (e.g., using RRC parameters) may be used to control rate matching behavior (e.g., how PUCCH is multiplexed on PUSCH) and may indicate the number of resources that a UCI payload may occupy on PUSCH. Overlapping PUCCH resources and PUSCH resources may be in the same component carrier (CC) or in different CCs.

[0093] As shown in example 600, PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including CSI (CSI1). PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including HARQ-ACK. PUCCH4 may be associated with UCI4 including SR. PUCCH1, PUCCH2, PUCCH3, and PUCCH4 may be included in a time slot. The time slot may also include PUSCH1 and PUSCH2. In the first example step (step 1), UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH1 and PUCCH3 because PUCCH1 and PUCCH3 are overlapping PUCCH resources. UE 120 may resolve the overlap by multiplexing PUCCH1 and PUCCH3 to generate PUCCH5 including UCI1 and UCI3. In the second example step (step 2), UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH resources and PUSCH resources. For example, since PUCCH5 overlaps with PUSCH1, PUCCH5 may be multiplexed with PUSCH1. Therefore, UCI1 and UCI3 (associated with PUCCH5) may be transmitted together with PUSCH1. Similarly, since PUCCH2 overlaps with PUSCH2, PUCCH2 may be multiplexed with PUSCH2. Therefore, UCI2 may be transmitted together with PUSCH2.

[0094] In some cases, such as when separate ACK / NACK feedback is configured (e.g., when "ackNackFeedbackMode=separate" is configured), multiple PUCCH transmissions in a single CC may be performed for multi-TRPs based on multi-DCI. Previous UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules for overlapping PUCCHs associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources do not take into account simultaneous PUCCH transmissions. For UCIs with the same priority but different control resource set (CORESET) pool index (CORESETPoolIndex) values, prioritization may not be required because these UCIs may be transmitted simultaneously. However, previous UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules did not specify which UCIs are to be multiplexed or prioritized for simultaneous PUCCH transmissions associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources. This may lead to an increase in error situations (such as missed UCI transmissions when simultaneous PUCCH transmissions are scheduled to occur in multi-slot PUCCH resources or low-priority UCIs taking precedence over high-priority UCI transmissions).

[0095] Techniques and apparatus for simultaneous PUCCH transmission are described herein. In some aspects, a UE may receive a first indication for transmitting a first UCI on a first PUCCH resource in a time slot and a second indication for transmitting a second UCI on a second PUCCH resource in a time slot. The first UCI may include HARQ feedback information associated with a first CORESET pool index value, and the second UCI may include HARQ feedback information associated with a second CORESET pool index value, and at least one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. The UE may receive a control signal for scheduling the transmission of one or more other UCIs on a PUCCH resource set in a time slot. The one or more other UCIs may include CSI or SR information. The UE may perform UCI prioritization on the first PUCCH resource and the PUCCH resource set according to a set of prioritization rules. UCI prioritization may generate one or more non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources and one or more single-slot PUCCH resources that do not overlap with any of the one or more multi-slot PUCCH resources. The UE may send at least the first UCI and the second UCI in a time slot based at least in part on the priority ranking.

[0096] As described herein, previous UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules for overlapping PUCCH associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources do not take into account simultaneous PUCCH transmissions. For example, previous UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules do not specify which UCIs are to be multiplexed or prioritized for simultaneous PUCCH transmissions associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources. This may lead to an increase in error conditions (such as missed UCI transmissions when simultaneous PUCCH transmissions are scheduled to occur in multi-slot PUCCH resources or low priority UCI takes precedence over high priority UCI transmissions). Using the techniques and apparatus described herein, a UE may be configured with a set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules that implement simultaneous PUCCH transmissions for overlapping PUCCH resources associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources. The UE may perform simultaneous PUCCH transmissions according to the set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules, thereby reducing the number of error conditions and improving the reliability of transmissions.

[0097] As indicated above, Figure 6 Other examples can be found in the Figure 6 The examples described are different.

[0098] Figure 7 7 is a diagram illustrating an example 700 of simultaneous PUCCH transmission according to the present disclosure. UE 120 may communicate with network node 110. In example 700, PUCCH resources with CSI or SR information may not be explicitly associated with a CORESET pool index value. Therefore, simultaneous PUCCH transmission may be possible only if each of the PUCCH resources carries a HARQ-ACK associated with a corresponding CORESET pool index value.

[0099] As indicated by reference numeral 705, the UE 120 may receive a first indication for sending a first UCI on a first PUCCH resource (PUCCH1) in a time slot and a second indication for sending a second UCI on a second PUCCH resource (PUCCH2) in the time slot. For example, the network node 110 may send and the UE 120 may receive a first indication for sending a first UCI on a first PUCCH resource in a time slot and a second indication for sending a second UCI on a second PUCCH resource in a time slot. The first UCI may include HARQ feedback information associated with a first CORESET pool index value (e.g., CORESET pool index value 0), and the second UCI may include HARQ feedback information associated with a second CORESET pool index value (e.g., CORESET pool index value 1). At least one of the first PUCCH resource and the second PUCCH resource may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource.

[0100] As shown by reference numeral 710, UE 120 may receive a control signal to schedule transmission of one or more other UCIs on a PUCCH resource set in a time slot. For example, network node 110 may send and UE 120 may receive a control signal to schedule transmission of one or more other UCIs on a PUCCH resource set in a time slot. The one or more other UCIs may include CSI or SR information.

[0101] As shown in reference numeral 715, the UE 120 may perform UCI prioritization on a first PUCCH resource (PUCCH1) and a set of PUCCH resources (e.g., resources for transmitting one or more other UCIs) according to a set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules. The set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules may include one or more rules for performing simultaneous PUCCH transmissions associated with overlapping PUCCH resources and multi-slot PUCCH resources. This is in contrast to previous UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules, which did not include one or more rules for performing simultaneous PUCCH transmissions associated with overlapping PUCCH resources and multi-slot PUCCH resources. The UCI prioritization performed according to the set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules may result in one or more non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources and one or more single-slot PUCCH resources that do not overlap with any of the one or more multi-slot PUCCH resources.

[0102] In some aspects, based at least in part on two (or more) CORESET pool index values ​​being configured for UE 120 and based at least in part on a separate HARQ feedback mode (e.g., "ackNackFeedbackMode=separate") being configured for UE 120, UE 120 may be configured for simultaneous PUCCH transmission. In a first example step (as shown in step 1), when two PUCCH resources (PUCCH1 and PUCCH2) carrying HARQ-ACK associated with two corresponding CORESET pool index values ​​are scheduled in a time slot (time slot 1 and / or time slot 2), and at least one of the two PUCCH resources is a multi-slot PUCCH resource, UE 120 may first exclude the PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK associated with the fixed CORESET pool index value, and may resolve the overlap of the multi-slot PUCCH resources among the remaining PUCCH resources. In some aspects, if one of the two PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) is a single-slot PUCCH and one of the two PUCCH resources (PUCCH1) is a multi-slot PUCCH, the fixed CORESET pool index value may be associated with the single-slot PUCCH resource (e.g., PUCCH2). Thus, the second PUCCH resource (PUCCH2) may be an excluded (e.g., excluded from the set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules) PUCCH resource. In some aspects, if both PUCCH resources carrying HARQ-ACK are multi-slot PUCCH resources (e.g., both PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 are multi-slot PUCCH resources), the UE 120 may determine the fixed CORESET pool index value based at least in part on the configuration of the UE 120 and / or based at least in part on information received by the UE 120. In some aspects, the UE 120 may use information associated with one or more other PUCCH resources for CSI or SR and a PUCCH resource (PUCCH1) for HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., value 0), and may apply the previous UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules for the multi-slot PUCCH resources. This may result in one or more non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources, where one of the non-overlapping multi-slot PUCCH resources is a multi-slot PUCCH resource (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with the other CORESET pool index value, and one or more single-slot PUCCH resources with CSI or SR that do not overlap with any of the multi-slot PUCCH resources. In combination FIG. 8A to FIG. 8B Additional details regarding these features are described.

[0103] In some aspects, in the second example step (step 2, case 1), if the excluded PUCCH resource (PUCCH2) is a multi-slot PUCCH resource, and the excluded PUCCH resource overlaps with at least one PUCCH resource among the generated PUCCH resources from step 1 except the multi-slot PUCCH resource (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., 0), then UE 120 may discard one or more generated PUCCH resources (single slot and / or multi-slot) that overlap with the excluded PUCCH resource (PUCCH2) except the multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values. In a first example of step 2 (step 2, case 1-1), if one or more single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) do not overlap with each other, UE 120 may send the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) with HARQ-ACK associated with a fixed CORESET pool index value, a multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., 0), and other PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2). In a second example of step 2 (step 2, case 1-2), if there is overlap among the one or more single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2), UE 120 may use existing UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules (e.g., in Release 15 of the 3GPP specification) to resolve the overlap among the one or more single-slot PUCCH resources. In this case, UE 120 may send excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) with HARQ-ACK associated with a fixed CORESET pool index value, multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., 0), multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2), and single-slot PUCCH resources after multiplexing one or more overlapping single-slot PUCCH resources.In a second example of step 2, UE 120 does not desire to multiplex one or more single-slot PUCCH resources that do not overlap with any of the excluded PUCCH resources, the multi-slot PUCCH with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(PUCCH1), and the one or more multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) into a single-slot PUCCH that may overlap with any of the excluded PUCCH resources, the multi-slot PUCCH with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(PUCCH1), and the one or more multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2). Combined. Fig. 8A Additional details regarding these features are described.

[0104] In some aspects, in example alternative step 2 (step 2, case 2), if the excluded PUCCH resource (PUCCH2) is a single-slot PUCCH, and the excluded PUCCH resource overlaps with at least one multi-slot PUCCH resource in the generated multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 except the multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., 0), then UE 120 may select a multi-slot PUCCH resource other than the multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​that overlaps with the excluded PUCCH resource (PUCCH2), and may discard the selected multi-slot PUCCH resource. In a first example of alternative step 2 (step 2, case 2-1), if the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) and the single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 do not overlap with each other, UE 120 may send the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) with HARQ-ACK associated with a fixed CORESET pool index value, a multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., 0), and other multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources and other single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1. In the second example of alternative step 2 (step 2, case 2-2), if there is overlap between the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) and the single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1, UE 120 may use the existing UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules in Release 15 to perform multiplexing and / or prioritization on the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) and the single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1. In this case, UE 120 may send a multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values, other multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2), and the single-slot PUCCH resources after multiplexing the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) and the single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1. Combined Figure 8C Additional details regarding these features are described.

[0105] As indicated by reference numeral 720, UE 120 may transmit at least the first UCI and the second UCI in the time slot based at least in part on the priority ranking. In some aspects, as described above in conjunction with the first example of step 2 (step 2, case 1-1), UE 120 may transmit the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) with HARQ-ACK associated with a fixed CORESET pool index value, the multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values ​​(e.g., 0), and other PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2). In some aspects, as described above in conjunction with the second example of step 2 (step 2, case 1-2), UE 120 may send excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) with HARQ-ACK associated with a fixed CORESET pool index value, multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values, multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2), and single-slot PUCCH resources after multiplexing one or more overlapping single-slot PUCCH resources. In some aspects, as described above in conjunction with the first example of alternative step 2 (step 2, case 2-1), UE 120 may send excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) with HARQ-ACK associated with a fixed CORESET pool index value, a multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values, and other multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources and other single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1. In some aspects, as described above in conjunction with the second example of alternative step 2 (step 2, case 2-2), UE 120 may send a multi-slot PUCCH (PUCCH1) with HARQ-ACK associated with other CORESET pool index values, other multi-slot PUCCH resources from step 1 that do not overlap with the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2), and single-slot PUCCH resources after multiplexing the excluded PUCCH resources (PUCCH2) and the single-slot PUCCH resources from step 1.

[0106] As described herein, existing UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules in Release 15 / 16 / 17 for overlapping PUCCH associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources do not take into account simultaneous PUCCH transmissions. For example, existing UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules in Release 15 / 16 / 17 do not specify which UCIs are to be multiplexed or prioritized for simultaneous PUCCH transmissions associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources. This may lead to an increase in error conditions (such as missed UCI transmissions when simultaneous PUCCH transmissions are scheduled to occur in multi-slot PUCCH resources or low-priority UCIs taking precedence over high-priority UCI transmissions). Using the techniques and apparatus described herein, a UE 120 may be configured with a set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules that implement simultaneous PUCCH transmissions for overlapping PUCCH resources associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources. The UE 120 may perform simultaneous PUCCH transmissions according to the set of UCI multiplexing and prioritization rules, thereby reducing the number of error conditions and improving the reliability of transmissions.

[0107] As indicated above, Figure 7 Other examples can be found in the Figure 7 The examples described are different.

[0108] FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C are diagrams illustrating examples 800 and 810 of resolving overlapping PUCCH transmissions according to the present disclosure.

[0109] As shown in example 800, PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK1). PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource associated with a first CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 0). PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK2). PUCCH2 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource associated with a second CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 1). PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI1). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH4 may be associated with UCI4 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH4 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH5 may be associated with UCI5 including CSI (CSI3). PUCCH5 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH6 may be associated with UCI6 including CSI (CSI4). PUCCH6 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. In step 1, UE 120 may exclude PUCCH2 from multiplexing and prioritization. UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH1 and the single-slot PUCCH resources overlapping with PUCCH1. In this case, UE 120 may discard PUCCH3 and PUCCH5 because PUCCH3 and PUCCH5 overlap with PUCCH1 and have a lower priority than PUCCH1. For example, both PUCCH3 and PUCCH5 are associated with CSI, while PUCCH1 is associated with HARQ-ACK having a higher priority than CSI. In step 2 (case 1-1), UE 120 may exclude PUCCH1 from multiplexing and prioritization. UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH2 and the remaining single-slot PUCCH resources overlapping with PUCCH2. In this case, UE 120 may drop PUCCH4 and PUCCH6 because PUCCH4 and PUCCH6 overlap with PUCCH2 and have a lower priority than PUCCH2. For example, both PUCCH4 and PUCCH6 are associated with CSI, while PUCCH2 is associated with HARQ-ACK which has a higher priority than CSI. After resolving the overlap, UE 120 may send PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 simultaneously in the time slot.

[0110] like( Figure 8BAs shown in Example 810 of ), PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK1). PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource associated with a first CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 0). PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK2). PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource associated with a second CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 1). PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI1). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH4 may be associated with UCI4 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH4 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH5 may be associated with UCI5 including CSI (CSI3). PUCCH5 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH6 may be associated with UCI6 including CSI (CSI4). PUCCH6 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. PUCCH7 may be associated with UCI7 including CSI (CSI5), where CSI5 may have a higher priority than CSI2. PUCCH7 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource. In step 1, UE 120 may exclude PUCCH2 from multiplexing and prioritization. UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH1 and the PUCCH resources overlapping with PUCCH1. In this case, UE 120 may discard PUCCH3 and PUCCH6 because PUCCH3 and PUCCH6 overlap with PUCCH1 and have a lower priority than PUCCH1. For example, both PUCCH3 and PUCCH6 are associated with CSI, while PUCCH1 is associated with HARQ-ACK having a higher priority than CSI. In addition, UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH4 and PUCCH7 because PUCCH4 is a multi-slot PUCCH. In this case, UE 120 may discard PUCCH7 because PUCCH4 has a higher priority than PUCCH7. In step 2, UE 120 may exclude PUCCH1 from multiplexing and prioritization. UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH2 and the multi-slot PUCCH resources overlapping with PUCCH2. In this case, UE 120 may discard PUCCH4 in slot 1 because PUCCH4 overlaps with PUCCH2 and because PUCCH2 has a higher priority than PUCCH4. However, PUCCH4 may still be sent in slot 2. In step 2, case 2-2, UE 120 may resolve the overlap between PUCCH2 and PUCCH5 in slot 1. In case ( Figure 8CIn one example shown in example 810 of ( ), UE 120 may drop PUCCH5 because PUCCH5 overlaps with PUCCH2 and because PUCCH2 has a higher priority than PUCCH5. Although there is overlap between PUCCH1 and PUCCH2, both PUCCH1 and PUCCH2 may be transmitted in time slot 1 because PUCCH1 (associated with CORESET pool index value 0) and PUCCH2 (associated with CORESET pool index value 1) are associated with different CORESET pool index values. Figure 8C In another example shown in example 810 of ), UE 120 may multiplex PUCCH2 and PUCCH5 to generate PUCCH8. PUCCH8 may include both UCI2 (associated with PUCCH2) and UCI5 (associated with PUCCH5). Although there is overlap between PUCCH1 and PUCCH8, both PUCCH1 and PUCCH8 may be sent in time slot 1 because PUCCH1 and PUCCH8 are associated with different CORESET pool index values. Both PUCCH1 and PUCCH4 may be sent in time slot 2 because PUCCH1 and PUCCH4 do not overlap in time slot 2.

[0111] As indicated above, FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C Other examples can be found in the FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C The examples described are different.

[0112] Fig. 9 900 is a diagram illustrating an example of simultaneous PUCCH transmission according to the present disclosure. UE 120 may communicate with network node 110. In example 900, PUCCH resources with CSI or SR information may be associated with a CORESET pool index value. Thus, simultaneous PUCCH transmission may be possible when the PUCCH resources include HARQ-ACK, CSI, and / or SR associated with the corresponding CORESET pool index value.

[0113] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 905, the UE 120 may receive a first set of one or more control signals that schedule a first plurality of UCIs in a first plurality of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 1) within a time slot. For example, the network node 110 may send and the UE 120 may receive a first set of one or more control signals that schedule a first plurality of UCIs in a first plurality of PUCCH resources within a time slot. The first plurality of UCIs may include at least one of HARQ feedback information, CSI, or SR information. Each PUCCH resource in the first plurality of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 1) may be associated with a first control resource set pool index value (e.g., CORESET pool index value 0).

[0114] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 910, the UE 120 may receive a second set of one or more control signals that schedule a second plurality of UCIs in a second plurality of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 2) within a time slot. For example, the network node 110 may send and the UE 120 may receive a second set of one or more control signals that schedule a second plurality of UCIs in a second plurality of PUCCH resources within a time slot. The second plurality of UCIs may include at least one of HARQ feedback information, CSI, or SR information. Each PUCCH resource in the second plurality of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 2) may be associated with a second control resource set pool index value (e.g., CORESET pool index value 1). At least one of the first plurality of PUCCH resources and the second plurality of PUCCH resources may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource.

[0115] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 915, the UE 120 may perform a first UCI multiplexing or prioritization on the first plurality of PUCCH resources according to the UCI multiplexing or prioritization rule. The first UCI multiplexing or prioritization may generate a first set of one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources. As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 920, the UE 120 may perform a second UCI multiplexing or prioritization on the second plurality of PUCCH resources according to the one or more UCI multiplexing or prioritization rules. The second UCI multiplexing or prioritization may generate a second set of one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources.

[0116] In some aspects, based at least in part on two (or more) CORESET pool index values ​​being configured for UE 120 and based at least in part on a separate HARQ feedback mode (e.g., "ackNackFeedbackMode=separate") being configured for UE 120, UE 120 may be configured for simultaneous PUCCH transmission. In a first example step (step 1), UE 120 may group PUCCH resources into two groups (e.g., PUCCH set 1 and PUCCH set 2) based at least in part on the CORESET pool index values ​​associated with the respective groups. For example, UE 120 may group a first plurality of PUCCH resources based at least in part on the first plurality of PUCCH resources being associated with CORESET pool index value 0, and may group a second plurality of PUCCH resources based at least in part on the second plurality of PUCCH resources being associated with CORESET pool index value 1. UE 120 may resolve overlap by performing multiplexing and / or prioritization on each group separately using a set of multiplexing and prioritization rules. In conjunction with FIG. 10A to FIG. 10B Additional details regarding these features are described.

[0117] In a first example sub-step (step 1-1), UE 120 may resolve overlap of PUCCH resources associated with a first CORESET pool index value (e.g., value 0) in a first plurality of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 1) (e.g., perform multiplexing and / or prioritization on these PUCCH resources). This results in a first set of non-overlapping PUCCH resources associated with the first CORESET pool index value. In some cases, UE 120 may first resolve overlap of multi-slot PUCCH resources in the first plurality of PUCCH resources (e.g., step 1-1-1), and if any overlap exists among the generated single-slot PUCCH resources, then may resolve overlap of the generated single-slot PUCCH resources in the first plurality of PUCCH resources (e.g., step 1-1-2).

[0118] In a second example sub-step (step 1-2), UE 120 may resolve overlap of PUCCH resources associated with a second CORESET pool index value (e.g., value 1) in a second plurality of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 2) (e.g., perform multiplexing and / or prioritization on these PUCCH resources). This results in a second set of non-overlapping PUCCH resources associated with the second CORESET pool index value. In some cases, UE 120 may first resolve overlap of multi-slot PUCCH resources in the second plurality of PUCCH resources (e.g., step 1-2-1), and if any overlap exists among the generated single-slot PUCCH resources, then may resolve overlap of the generated single-slot PUCCH resources in the second plurality of PUCCH resources (e.g., step 1-2-2).

[0119] As shown in conjunction with reference numeral 925, UE 120 may transmit at least a subset of the first plurality of UCIs on first one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources and at least a subset of the second plurality of UCIs on second one or more non-overlapping PUCCH resources. For example, in a second example step (step 2), UE 120 may transmit a first set of generated non-overlapping PUCCH resources (from PUCCH set 1) and a second set of generated non-overlapping PUCCH resources (from PUCCH set 2). UE 120 may transmit the first set of non-overlapping PUCCH resources and the second set of non-overlapping PUCCH resources even if one or more of the PUCCH resources in the first set of non-overlapping PUCCH resources overlap with one or more of the PUCCH resources in the second set of non-overlapping PUCCH resources.

[0120] As indicated above, Fig. 9 Other examples can be found in the Fig. 9 The examples described are different.

[0121] FIG. 10A to FIG. 10B is a diagram illustrating an example 1000 of resolving overlapping PUCCH transmissions according to the present disclosure.

[0122] As shown in example 1000, PUCCH1 may be associated with UCI1 including HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK1). PUCCH1 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource associated with a first CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 0). PUCCH2 may be associated with UCI2 including HARQ-ACK (HARQ-ACK2). PUCCH2 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource associated with a second CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 1). PUCCH3 may be associated with UCI3 including CSI (CSI1). PUCCH3 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource associated with a first CORESET pool index value. PUCCH4 may be associated with UCI4 including CSI (CSI2). PUCCH4 may be a multi-slot PUCCH resource associated with a second CORESET pool index value. PUCCH5 may be associated with UCI5 including CSI (CSI3). PUCCH5 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource associated with the second CORESET pool index value. PUCCH6 may be associated with UCI6 including CSI (CSI4). PUCCH6 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource associated with the first CORESET pool index value. PUCCH7 may be associated with UCI7 including CSI (CSI5). PUCCH7 may be a single-slot PUCCH resource associated with the first CORESET pool index value.

[0123] In some aspects, UE 120 may group PUCCH resources into a first set of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 1) associated with a first CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 0) and a second set of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 2) associated with a second CORESET pool index value (CORESET pool index value 1). Fig. 10AIn step 1-1 shown in example 1000 of ( ), UE 120 may resolve overlap in the first set of PUCCH resources. UE 120 may first resolve overlap associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources in the first set of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 1). UE 120 may discard PUCCH3 and PUCCH6 because PUCCH3 and PUCCH6 overlap with PUCCH1 (which is a multi-slot PUCCH resource), have the same CORESET pool index value as PUCCH1, and have a lower priority than PUCCH1. Next, UE 120 may resolve overlap associated with the remaining single-slot PUCCH resources in the first set of PUCCH resources. In this case, there are no remaining overlapping single-slot PUCCH resources in the first set of PUCCH resources. In ( Fig. 10B In step 1-2 shown in example 1000 of ), UE 120 may resolve overlap in the second set of PUCCH resources. UE 120 may first (e.g., in step 1-2-1) resolve overlap associated with multi-slot PUCCH resources in the second set of PUCCH resources (PUCCH set 2). In this case, UE 120 may discard PUCCH4 in slot 1 because PUCCH4 (which is a multi-slot PUCCH resource) overlaps with PUCCH2, has the same CORESET pool index value as PUCCH2, and has a lower priority than PUCCH2. Next, UE 120 may (e.g., in step 1-2-2) resolve overlap associated with single-slot PUCCH resources in the second set of PUCCH resources. In this case, UE 120 may multiplex PUCCH2 and PUCCH5 to generate PUCCH8. PUCCH8 may include both UCI2 (associated with PUCCH2) and UCI5 (associated with PUCCH5). In some cases, step 1-1 and step 1-2 may be performed in parallel. After step 1-1 and step 1-2, PUCCH1, PUCCH7, and PUCCH8 may all be transmitted in time slot 1 because PUCCH1 and PUCCH7 have the same CORESET pool index value but do not overlap each other, and because PUCCH8 has a different CORESET pool index value from PUCCH1 and PUCCH7.

[0124] As indicated above, FIG. 10A to FIG. 10B Other examples can be found in the FIG. 10A to FIG. 10B The examples described are different.

[0125] Fig.11is a diagram illustrating an example process 1100 performed, for example, by a UE in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 1100 is an example in which a UE (eg, UE 120) performs operations associated with simultaneous PUCCH transmissions.

Additionally or alternatively, two or more blocks in the blocks of the process 1100 may be executed in parallel.

[0146] Fig.12 is a diagram illustrating an example process 1200 performed, for example, by a UE in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 1200 is an example in which a UE (eg, UE 120) performs operations associated with simultaneous PUCCH transmissions.

[0147] like Fig.12 As shown, in some aspects, process 1200 may include: receiving a first set of one or more control signals that schedule a first plurality of UCIs in a first plurality of PUCCH resources in a time slot, wherein the first plurality of UCIs include at least one of HARQ feedback information, channel state information, or scheduling request information, and each PUCCH resource in the first plurality of PUCCH resources is associated with a first control resource set pool index value (block 1210).
