Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for multiplexing uplink control information on physical uplink shared channels in full duplex mode. An example method that may be performed by a UE includes: receiving scheduling information from a network entity, wherein: the scheduling information schedules, in a first full duplex (FD) slot of a plurality of slots, transmission of a first uplink (UL) data channel repetition of a plurality of UL data channel repetitions and uplink control information (UCI), and the FD slot comprises an UL subband for UL transmissions and a downlink (DL) subband for DL transmissions, multiplexing the first UL data channel repetition with the UCI to form a multiplexed transmission, and transmitting the multiplexed transmission in the FD slot.
