Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive scheduling information for transmitting uplink control information in a first resource, where the first resource spans at least portions of a set of transmission time intervals. The UE may receive downlink data to be acknowledged via a feedback message in a second resource, where the second resource is within one of the set of transmission time intervals. The UE may identify that the first resource overlaps in time with the second resource. The UE may determine a transmission resource for the feedback message based on the first resource overlapping the second resource, the first resource spanning at least portions of the set of transmission time intervals, and the second resource being within one of the set of transmission time intervals. The UE may transmit feedback message via the transmission resource.
