Abstract

Claims (39)

1. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media (NTCRM) having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors cause a user equipment (UE) to:

determine uplink control information (UCI) payload information for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with a PUCCH format 1;

determine a sequence for transmission of the PUCCH based on the UCI payload information, wherein to determine the sequence includes to determine a sequence group identity parameter of the sequence based on the UCI payload information, wherein the sequence group identity parameter u is determined according to one of:

u ( n )=( f gh +f ss ( n ))mod 30;

u ( n )=( f gh ( n )+ f ss )mod 30;

u ( n )=( f gh ( n )+ f ss ( n ))mod 30; or

u ( n )=( f gh +f ss +n )mod 30;

wherein n corresponds to the UCI payload information, and f gh and f ss are group and sequence hopping functions; and

map the determined sequence to allocated resources for the PUCCH format 1 for transmission.
