Abstract

Claims (36)

1 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor of a user equipment (UE) to perform operations, comprising:

decoding, based on signaling receiving from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a beta offset value to be used for a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (CG-PUSCH) transmission;

generating configured grant uplink control information (CG-UCI);

generating hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information;

generating channel state information (CSI); and

mapping the CG-UCI, HARQ-ACK, and CSI to resource elements (REs) in resource blocks (RBs) of the CG-PUSCH transmission based, at least in part, on the beta offset value, wherein the CG-PUSCH transmission includes a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), and

wherein the mapping includes one of mapping a concatenated bit sequence;

concatenating the CG-UCI bits and the HARQ-ACK bits to form the concatenated bit sequence;

encoding the concatenated bit sequence; and

attaching a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), wherein the concatenating the CG-UCI bits and the HARQ-ACK bits occurs prior to the encoding and the attaching.

2 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the CSI comprises CSI part 1 bits and CSI part 2 bits.

3 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the portion of the CSI information that is omitted is the CSI part 2 bits,

wherein the CG-UCI is mapped to the resource elements immediately after the DMRS, wherein the HARQ-ACK is mapped at a beginning REs of the RBs, and wherein the HARQ-ACK is rate-matched to the CG-UCI.

4 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the portion of the CSI information that is omitted is the CSI part 2 bits,

wherein the HARQ-ACK is mapped to the resource elements immediately after the DMRS, wherein the CG-UCI is mapped at a beginning REs of the RBs, and wherein the CG-UCI is rate-matched to the HARQ-ACK.

5 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein bits of CG-UCI precede bits of the HARQ-ACK or bits of CG-UCI prior to the bits of HARQ-ACK in the concatenated bit sequence.

6 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the concatenated bit sequence is mapped to the resource elements immediately after the DMRS, wherein the CSI part 1 bits are mapped at a beginning resource block of the REs of the RBs, and wherein the CSI part 1 bits are rate-matched to the concatenated bit sequence.

7 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein mapping of the UCI begins after a predetermined starting position within multiple CG-PUSCHs configured by RRC.

8 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined starting position is a fixed starting position.

9 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the predetermined starting position is a starting position immediately following a successful listen before talk (LBT) process.

10 . A user equipment (UE) connected to a 5G new radio (NR) network on a frequency band in an unlicensed spectrum, the UE comprising:

a processor configured to:

decode, based on signaling receiving from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a beta offset value to be used for a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (CG-PUSCH) transmission;

generate configured grant uplink control information (CG-UCI);

generate hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information;

generate channel state information (CSI); and

map the CG-UCI, HARQ-ACK, and CSI to resource elements (REs) of the CG-PUSCH transmission based, at least in part, on the beta offset value, wherein the PUSCH transmission includes a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); and

a transceiver configured to transmit the CG-PUSCH to the 5G NR network over the frequency band,

wherein the processor is configured to one of map a concatenated bit sequence;

concatenating the CG-UCI bits and the HARQ-ACK bits to form the concatenated bit sequence;

encoding the concatenated bit sequence; and

attaching a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), wherein the concatenating the CG-UCI bits and the HARQ-ACK bits occurs prior to the encoding and the attaching.

11 . The UE of claim 10 , wherein the CSI comprises CSI part 1 bits and CSI part 2 bits.

12 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the CSI information that is omitted is the CSI part 2 bits, wherein the CG-UCI is mapped to the resource elements immediately after the DMRS, wherein the HARQ-ACK is mapped at a beginning RE of the RBs, and wherein the HARQ-ACK is rate-matched to the CG-UCI.

13 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the CSI information that is omitted is the CSI part 2 bits, wherein the HARQ-ACK is mapped to the resource elements immediately after the DMRS, wherein the CG-UCI is mapped at a beginning RE of the RBs, and wherein the CG-UCI is rate-matched to the HARQ-ACK.

14 . The UE of claim 10 , wherein the concatenated bit sequence is mapped to the resource elements immediately after the DMRS, wherein the CSI part 1 bits are mapped at a beginning REs of the RBs, and wherein the CSI part 1 bits are rate-matched to the concatenated bit sequence.
