Abstract

A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication. The apparatus applies a processing timeline for multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) in at least one slot of a multiple slot physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. The apparatus transmits the multiple slot PUSCH transmission with multiplexed UCI based on the processing timeline being satisfied.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, and the processing timeline corresponds to a time gap between reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a start of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying a HARQ feedback payload for the PDSCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises a channel state information (CSI) report, and the processing timeline corresponds to a time gap between reception of a last symbol of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a start of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying the CSI report based on measurement of the CSI-RS.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

multiplexing a first UCI and a second UCI that overlap with different contiguous portions of the multiple slot PUSCH transmission, wherein the processing timeline is determined based on the contiguous portion of the transmission occasion in which a respective UCI is multiplexed.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing timeline is based on the start of the overlapped slot of the multiple slot PUSCH transmission based on the one or more of the slot based interleaving for the multiple slot PUSCH transmission, or the slot based rate matching for the multiple slot PUSCH transmission.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing timeline is based on the start of the overlapped slot of the multiple slot PUSCH transmission further based on one or more of:

the UCI being multiplexed in the overlapped slot of the multiple slot PUSCH transmission, or

a slot based multiplexing for the UCI within the multiple slot PUSCH transmission.

15. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

apply a processing timeline for multiplexing uplink control information (UCI) in at least one slot of a multiple slot physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and

transmit the multiple slot PUSCH transmission with multiplexed UCI based on the processing timeline being satisfied, wherein the processing timeline is based on:

a start of the multiple slot PUSCH transmission based on one or more of a transmission occasion based interleaving for the multiple slot PUSCH transmission or a transmission occasion based rate matching for the multiple slot PUSCH transmission, or

a start of an overlapped slot of the multiple slot PUSCH transmission based on one or more of a slot based interleaving for the multiple slot PUSCH transmission or a slot based rate matching for the multiple slot PUSCH transmission.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the UCI comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, and the processing timeline corresponds to a time gap between reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a start of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) carrying a HARQ feedback payload for the PDSCH.

17.
