Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for multiplexing a scheduling request (SR) and a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) having different priorities and different physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) formats.
Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). 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).
A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communication for a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a base station via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to a communication link from the base station to the UE, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to a communication link from the UE to the base station.
The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, 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 the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) 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, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.
In some aspects, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes multiplexing a scheduling request (SR) associated with a first priority and a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format with a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) associated with a second priority and a second PUCCH format to form a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK; and transmitting, to a base station, the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK using a sequence in a PUCCH format 1 resource, wherein the sequence is based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value.

In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication includes one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, cause the UE to: multiplex an SR associated with a first priority and a first PUCCH format with a HARQ-ACK associated with a second priority and a second PUCCH format to form a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK; and transmit, to a base station, the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK using a sequence in a PUCCH format 1 resource, wherein the sequence is based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value.
In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication includes one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station, cause the base station to: transmit, to a UE, downlink information; and receive, from the UE and based at least in part on the downlink information, a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK in a PUCCH format 1 resource based at least in part on a sequence, wherein the sequence is based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value.

Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses 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, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.
While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G).
A base station 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., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A base station 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro base station. A base station 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico base station. A base station 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto base station or an in-home base station. In the example shown in
In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a base station 110 that is mobile (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, the base stations 110 may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.
The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a base station 110 or a UE 120) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE 120 or a base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. In the example shown in
The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes base stations 110 of different types, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, or the like. These different types of base stations 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and/or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, macro base stations may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).
A network controller 130 may couple to or communicate with a set of base stations 110 and may provide coordination and control for these base stations 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base stations 110 via a backhaul communication link. The base stations 110 may communicate with one another directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul communication link.
The UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. A UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and/or a subscriber unit. A UE 120 may 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, 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 vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter/sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, and/or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless medium.
Some UEs 120 may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. An MTC UE and/or an eMTC UE may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and/or a location tag, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment. A UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.
In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.
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 a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In such examples, a UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.
Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, 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 referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.
The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz-24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz-71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz-114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz-300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.
With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent 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 techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.
As indicated above,
At the base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data, from a data source 212, intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from that UE 120. The base station 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE 120 and may 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., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if 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 through 232t. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem 232. Each modem 232 may use a respective modulator component to process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use a respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and/or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a through 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas 234a through 234t.
At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive the downlink signals from the base station 110 and/or other base stations 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 through 254r. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of a modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and/or digitize) a 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 modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A 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 examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.
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 base station 110 via the communication unit 294.
One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a through 234t and/or antennas 252a through 252r) may include, or may 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, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of
On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from the controller/processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by the modems 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the base station 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 the antenna(s) 252, the modem(s) 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 280) and the memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to
At the base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and/or other UEs may be received by the antennas 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component, shown as DEMOD, of the modem 232), detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller/processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The base station 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 base station 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 234, the modem(s) 232, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the transmit processor 220, and/or the TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 240) and the memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to
The controller/processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of
In some aspects, a UE (e.g., UE 120) includes means for multiplexing an SR associated with a first priority and a first PUCCH format with a HARQ-ACK associated with a second priority and a second PUCCH format to form a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK; and/or means for transmitting, to a base station, the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK using a sequence in a PUCCH format 1 resource, wherein the sequence is based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller/processor 280, or memory 282.
In some aspects, a base station (e.g., base station 110) includes means for transmitting, to a UE, downlink information; and/or means for receiving, from the UE and based at least in part on the downlink information, a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK in a PUCCH format 1 resource based at least in part on a sequence, wherein the sequence is based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value. The means for the base station to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modulator 232, antenna 234, demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.
While blocks in
As indicated above,
As shown by reference number 302, a high priority SR of one bit may be scheduled to be transmitted in a PUCCH format 0. The high priority SR may be associated with a first payload, and may be originally scheduled with the PUCCH format 0. A low priority HARQ-ACK of one bit or two bits may be scheduled to be transmitted in a PUCCH format 1. The low priority HARQ-ACK may be associated with a second payload, and may be originally scheduled with the PUCCH format 1. Different priorities of the SR and the HARQ-ACK may be based at least in part on whether the SR and the HARQ-ACK are associated with ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) or enhanced mobile broadband (EMBB) communications. In some cases, a PUCCH resource associated with the high priority SR scheduled in the PUCCH format 1 may overlap in a time domain with a PUCCH resource associated with the low priority HARQ-ACK scheduled in the PUCCH format 0.
As shown by reference number 304, a low priority SR of one bit may be scheduled to be transmitted in a PUCCH format 1. The low priority SR may be associated with a first payload, and may be originally scheduled with the PUCCH format 1. A high priority HARQ-ACK of one bit or two bits may be scheduled to be transmitted in a PUCCH format 0. The high priority HARQ-ACK may be associated with a second payload, and may be originally scheduled with the PUCCH format 0. In some cases, a PUCCH resource associated with the low priority SR scheduled in the PUCCH format 1 may overlap in a time domain with a PUCCH resource associated with the high priority HARQ-ACK scheduled in the PUCCH format 0.
As indicated above,
As shown in
As indicated above,
One or two HARQ-ACK information bits of a same priority may be transmitted on a PUCCH format 0. The one or two HARQ-ACK information bits of the same priority may be transmitted based at least in part on transmitting a sequence S in one resource block with a certain amount of cyclic shift in a time domain. A cyclic shift index may be selected from a total of twelve possible cyclic shift indexes, which may range from 0 to 11.
As shown in
As indicated above,
As shown in
Depending on the two-bit HARQ-ACK value, the cyclic shift index applied to the sequence may be equal to 0, 3, 6, or 9. Distances between some pairs of cyclic shift indexes may be equal to each other. For example, a distance between the cyclic shift index equal to 0 and the cyclic shift index equal to 3 is three, a distance between the cyclic shift index equal to 3 and the cyclic shift index equal to 6 is three, and so on. The distance between cyclic shift indexes may also refer to a difference between cyclic shift indexes. For example, both a distance and a difference between the cyclic shift index equal to 0 and the cyclic shift index equal to 3 is three.
As indicated above,
As shown in
The UE may use binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation when the payload is one bit. With a one-bit payload, generated waveforms for the two hypotheses {0} and {1} are orthogonal. The UE may use quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation when the payload is two bits. With a two-bit payload, generated waveforms for the four hypotheses {0,0}, {0,1}, {1,0} and {1,1} are not orthogonal.
As indicated above,
A UE may multiplex a first payload associated with an SR and a second payload associated with a HARQ-ACK to form a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK, which may be transmitted to a base station. However, the UE may not be configured to multiplex a HARQ-ACK and an SR with different priorities and with different PUCCH formats. When the HARQ-ACK is associated with a high priority and the SR is associated with a low priority, or vice versa, the UE may not be configured to multiplex the HARQ-ACK and the SR. Further, when the HARQ-ACK is associated with a PUCCH format 0 and the SR is associated with a PUCCH format 1, or vice versa, the UE may not be configured to multiplex the HARQ-ACK and the SR. The UE may not be configured to determine which PUCCH format to use when combining the HARQ-ACK and the SR having the different priorities and the different PUCCH formats.
In various aspects of techniques and apparatuses described herein, a UE may multiplex an SR associated with a first priority and a first PUCCH format with a HARQ-ACK associated with a second priority and a second PUCCH format to form a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK. The first priority associated with the SR may be greater than the second priority associated with the HARQ-ACK, or alternatively, the second priority associated with the HARQ-ACK may be greater than the first priority associated with the SR. The first PUCCH format associated with the SR may be a PUCCH format 0 and the second PUCCH format associated with the HARQ-ACK may be a PUCCH format 1, or alternatively, the first PUCCH format associated with the SR may be a PUCCH format 1 and the second PUCCH format associated with the HARQ-ACK may be a PUCCH format 0. In some aspects, the UE may transmit, to a base station, the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK using a sequence in the PUCCH format 1 resource. In some aspects, the sequence may be based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value. For example, the sequence may be a first sequence when the SR is the positive value, or the sequence may be a second sequence when the SR is the negative value. In some aspects, the first sequence may be a base sequence with a first cyclic shift index, or the second sequence may be a base sequence with a second cyclic shift index, where the first cyclic shift index and the second cyclic shift index may be separated by a maximum available distance (e.g., a distance of six).
In some aspects, instead of using a single sequence, an additional sequence may be available for transmitting the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK. One of two sequences may be selected depending on a sign (e.g., positive or negative) of an SR in the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK. The two sequences may enable the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK of up to three bits to be transmitted, since one of the two sequences may be associated with the positive SR and the other sequence may be associated with the negative SR. As a result, when a resource associated with an SR overlaps in time with a resource associated with a HARQ-ACK, the UE may be configured to multiplex an SR and a HARQ-ACK having different priorities and different PUCCH formats, and transmit the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK using the sequence that is based at least in part on whether the SR is the positive value or the negative value.
As shown by reference number 802, the UE may identify an SR. The SR may be associated with a first priority and a first PUCCH format. For example, the SR may be associated with a high priority or a low priority. The SR may be associated with a PUCCH format 0 or a PUCCH format 1. The SR may be one bit.
As shown by reference number 804, the UE may identify a HARQ-ACK. The HARQ-ACK may be associated with a second priority and a second PUCCH format. For example, the HARQ-ACK may be associated with a low priority or a high priority. The HARQ-ACK may be associated with a PUCCH format 1 or a PUCCH format 0. The HARQ-ACK may be one bit or two bits.
In some aspects, the SR may be associated with the first priority and the HARQ-ACK may be associated with the second priority. In some aspects, the first priority may be greater than the second priority. Alternatively, the second priority may be greater than the first priority. For example, the SR may be associated with a high priority and the HARQ-ACK may be associated with a low priority. Alternatively, the SR may be associated with a low priority and the HARQ-ACK may be associated with a high priority.
In some aspects, the SR may be associated with the first PUCCH format and the HARQ-ACK may be associated with the second PUCCH format. For example, the SR may be associated with a PUCCH format 0 and the HARQ-ACK may be associated with a PUCCH format 1. Alternatively, the SR may be associated with a PUCCH format 1 and the HARQ-ACK may be associated with a PUCCH format 0.
In some aspects, the UE may determine that a resource associated with the SR overlaps in a time domain with a resource associated with the HARQ-ACK. For example, the UE may determine that a PUCCH format resource associated with the SR may overlap in the time domain with a PUCCH format resource associated with the HARQ-ACK. A PUCCH format 1 resource associated with the SR may overlap in the time domain with a PUCCH format 0 resource associated with the HARQ-ACK, or a PUCCH format 0 resource associated with the SR may overlap in the time domain with a PUCCH format 1 resource associated with the HARQ-ACK.
As shown by reference number 806, the UE may multiplex the SR associated with the first priority and the first PUCCH format with the HARQ-ACK associated with the second priority and the second PUCCH format to form a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK. The UE may multiplex the SR with the HARQ-ACK based at least in part on the PUCCH format resource associated with the SR overlapping in the time domain with the PUCCH format resource associated with the HARQ-ACK. The multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK may be up to three bits. For example, the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK may be three bits when the SR is one bit and the HARQ-ACK is two bits, or the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK may be two bits when the SR is one bit and the HARQ-ACK is one bit.
As shown by reference number 808, the UE may transmit, to the base station, the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK using a sequence in the PUCCH format 1 resource. The UE may transmit the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK in the PUCCH format 1 as opposed to the PUCCH format 0, since the PUCCH format 1 may have a greater quantity of symbols that utilize more energy and yield an improved performance as compared to the PUCCH format 0. The sequence may be based at least in part on whether the SR is a positive value or a negative value. For example, the sequence may be a first sequence when the SR is the positive value, or the sequence may be a second sequence when the SR is the negative value. In other words, the UE may select the sequence based at least in part on a sign (e.g., positive or negative) of the SR. As an example, the first sequence and the second sequence may be length 12 sequences, which may be computer generated sequences (CGS).
In some aspects, when the SR is the positive value, the UE may transmit the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK in the PUCCH format 1 resource based at least in part on the first sequence. In some aspects, when the SR is the negative value, the UE may transmit the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK in the PUCCH format 1 resource based at least in part on the second sequence. The first sequence may be associated with the positive SR and the second sequence may be associated with the negative SR, or alternatively, the first sequence may be associated with the negative SR and the second sequence may be associated with the positive SR.
In some aspects, the first sequence may be a base sequence with a first cyclic shift index. The second sequence may be a base sequence with a second cyclic shift index. The first cyclic shift index and the second cyclic shift index may be separated by a maximum available distance (or gap or offset). The maximum available distance between cyclic shift indexes may be equal to a total sequence length divided by two. For example, twelve cyclic shift indexes may be available, and the first cyclic shift index and the second cyclic shift index may be separated by a maximum available distance of six. For example, the first cyclic shift index may be 0 and the second cyclic shift index may be 6, the first cyclic shift index may be 1 and the second cyclic shift index may be 7, and so on.
In some aspects, the UE may receive, from the base station, an indication of the first cyclic shift index. The UE may determine the second cyclic shift index based at least in part on the first cyclic shift index and a maximum available distance between the first cyclic shift index and the second cyclic shift index. For example, the UE may determine the second cyclic shift index in accordance with CS2=mod(CS1+6,12), where CS2 is the second cyclic shift index, CS1 is the first cyclic shift index, the 6 is based at least in part on the maximum available distance, and the 12 is based at least in part on a maximum quantity of possible cyclic shift indexes. In some aspects, the UE may receive the indication of the first cyclic shift index via RRC signaling, downlink control information (DCI), or a medium access control control element (MAC-CE). In some aspects, the UE may receive, from the base station, an indication of both the first cyclic shift index and the second cyclic shift index. The UE may receive the indication via RRC signaling, DCI, or a MAC-CE.
As indicated above,

In some aspects, the UE may transmit, to a base station, a payload carrying UCI via a PUCCH format 1. The UCI may be a multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK that is up to three bits. The UE may transmit the payload by transmitting the first sequence S1 when the SR is the positive value, or the UE may transmit the payload by transmitting the second sequence S2 when the SR is the negative value. The first sequence S1 may be a base sequence S with a first cyclic shift index, and the second sequence S2 may be a base sequence S with a second cyclic shift index. The UE may transmit the sequence S1 or the sequence S2 as a DMRS on even symbols in a plurality of symbols (e.g., N symbols). The UE may transmit the sequence S1 or the sequence S2 modulated by the payload on odd symbols in the plurality of symbols. The odd symbols in the plurality of symbols may correspond to the UCI, which may include the multiplexed SR and HARQ-ACK that is up to three bits.

Also, as used herein, the articles “a” and “an” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Further, as used herein, the article “the” is intended to include one or more items referenced in connection with the article “the” and may be used interchangeably with “the one or more.” Furthermore, as used herein, the terms “set” and “group” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Where only one item is intended, the phrase “only one” or similar language is used. Also, as used herein, the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms that do not limit an element that they modify (e.g., an element “having” A may also have B). Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term “or” is intended to be inclusive when used in a series and may be used interchangeably with “and/or,” unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g., if used in combination with “either” or “only one of”).
