DESIGN OF THE LONG PHYSICAL UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL (PUCCH) FOR THE NEW 5TH GENERATION RADIO NETWORK (NR) (5G)

摘要

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions stored in the memory are executable to determine the uplink control channel (PUCCH) format and configuration based on a signaling from a base station (gNB). The instructions are also executable to determine the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) locations in the configured PUCCH. The instructions are further executable to determine the uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing methods on the configured PUCCH. The instructions are additionally executable to determine the resource of the control channel for UCI feedback. The instructions are also executable to transmit UCI feedback on the selected control channel.
