Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may map channel state information (CSI) to first resource elements that are distributed in frequency, wherein the first resource elements are in a set of resources allocated on an uplink shared channel; map hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback to second resource elements that are distributed in frequency, wherein the second resource elements are in the set of resources; wherein the second resource elements are reserved for the HARQ feedback and are different from the first resource elements; and transmit the CSI and the HARQ feedback on the uplink shared channel in accordance with the mappings. Numerous other aspects are provided.
