Abstract

For multiplexing control information in a physical uplink data channel, a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a configuration for a first set of values and receiving a downlink control information (DCI) format scheduling a transmission of a physical uplink shared data channel (PUSCH) over a set of resource elements (REs) and including a field providing an index. The method further includes determining a first value from the first set of values based on the index, determining a first subset of REs from the set of REs, for multiplexing first uplink control information (UCI), based on the first value, and transmitting the first UCI in the PUSCH.

Claims (57)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein

the DCI format schedules a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

the DCI format includes a binary field that indicates either multiplexing or no multiplexing of one of a transport block or an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) in the PUSCH transmission; and

transmitting the PUSCH with or without multiplexing the one of the transport block or the UL-SCH depending on the indication by the binary field.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

multiplexing channel state information (CSI) in the PUSCH transmission when the PUSCH transmission does not include data information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the DCI format includes a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field that indicates a MCS value, and

the MCS for the CSI is provided by the MCS value.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

multiplexing hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information in the PUSCH transmission.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

determining a number of coded modulation symbols for the HARQ-ACK information based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and on the MCS value.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the CSI includes two parts,

CSI part 1 includes a predetermined number of information bits, and

CSI part 2 includes a variable number of information bits.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving a configuration for a first value β offset CSI and a second value β offset,2 CSI , and

determining a number of coded modulation symbols for CSI part 1 based on β offset CSI and a number of coded modulation symbols for CSI part 2 based on β offset,2 CSI .

8. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein

the DCI format schedules a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

the DCI format includes a binary field that indicates either multiplexing or no multiplexing of one of a transport block or an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) in the PUSCH transmission; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the PUSCH with or without multiplexing the one of the transport block or the UL-SCH depending on the indication by the binary field.

9. The UE of claim 8 , further comprising:

a multiplexer configured to multiplex channel state information (CSI) in the PUSCH transmission when the PUSCH transmission does not include data information.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein:

the DCI format includes a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field that indicates a MCS value, and

the MCS for the CSI is provided by the MCS value.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the multiplexer is further configured to multiplex hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information in the PUSCH transmission.

12. The UE of claim 11 , further comprising:

a processor configured to determine a number of coded modulation symbols for the HARQ-ACK information based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and on the MCS value.

13. The UE of claim 9 , wherein:

the CSI includes two parts,

CSI part 1 includes a predetermined number of information bits, and

CSI part 2 includes a variable number of information bits.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive a configuration for a first value β offset CSI and a second value β offset,2 CSI , the UE further comprising:

a processor configured to determine a number of coded modulation symbols for CSI part 1 based on first value β offset CSI and a number of coded modulation symbols for CSI part 2 based on β offset,2 CSI .

15. A base station, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein

the DCI format schedules a reception of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

the DCI format includes a binary field that indicates either multiplexing or no multiplexing of one of a transport block or an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) in the PUSCH reception; and

a receiver configured to receive the PUSCH with or without multiplexing of the one of the transport block or the UL-SCH depending on the indication by the binary field.

16. The base station of claim 15 , further comprising:

a demultiplexer configured to demultiplex channel state information (CSI) for the PUSCH reception when the PUSCH reception does not include data information.

17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein:

the DCI format includes a modulation and coding scheme (MC S) field that indicates a MCS value, and

the MCS for the CSI is provided by the MCS value.

18. The base station of claim 17 , wherein the demultiplexer is further configured to demultiplex hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) information in the PUSCH reception.

19. The base station of claim 18 , further comprising:

a processor configured to determine a number of coded modulation symbols for the HARQ-ACK information based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and on the MCS value.

20. The base station of claim 16 , wherein:

the CSI includes two parts,

CSI part 1 includes a predetermined number of information bits, and

CSI part 2 includes a variable number of information bits.
