Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for a power spectrum density based configuration. One method includes transmitting, from a user equipment, UCI bits via a PUCCH in a shared spectrum using multiple PRBs. The method includes receiving a configuration message including a number of resource blocks for a PUCCH format 0, a PUCCH format 1, or a PUCCH format 4 depending on a SCS. The configuration message indicates at least one technique that satisfies a PUCCH PSD requirement, and the PUCCH PSD requirement includes a larger sequence length generation, mapping information that maps time and frequency domain resources for larger sequence to multiple RBs or a repetition of sequences to multiple RBs, and/or information corresponding to subcarrier interlacing.

Claims (33)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

transmitting uplink control information (UCI) bits via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a shared spectrum using multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs); and

receiving a configuration message comprising a number of resource blocks for a PUCCH format 0, a PUCCH format 1, or a PUCCH format 4 depending on a subcarrier spacing (SCS), wherein the configuration message indicates at least one technique that satisfies a PUCCH power spectrum density (PSD) requirement, and the PUCCH PSD requirement comprises a larger sequence length generation, mapping information that maps time and frequency domain resources for larger sequence to multiple resource blocks (RBs) or a repetition of sequences to multiple RBs, information corresponding to subcarrier interlacing, or a combination thereof.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of PRBs and a number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols are chosen based on a subcarrier spacing and the PUCCH PSD requirement.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a long base sequence is used for PUCCH format 0 such that a length of the long base sequence is a multiple of a length-12 sequence for mapping multiple PRBs.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication to apply frequency domain repetition by mapping 12 PUCCH subcarriers with the multiple PRBs.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication to use a long orthogonal code for mapping REs in a frequency domain for the PUCCH format 1, wherein a length of the long orthogonal code is determined by multiplication of a number of configured symbols and a number of required PRBs.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information indicating a configuration to apply subcarrier interlacing, sub resource block interlacing, or a combination thereof on 12 PUCCH subcarriers, wherein interlaces map delta frequency offsets with the multiple PRBs.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an indication to apply a discrete Fourier transform with a length equal to an indicated number of RBs for the PUCCH format 4.

8 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:
