## Abstract

A wireless device receives message(s) comprising: configuration parameters for a periodic resource allocation indicating a first plurality of uplink resources of an uplink data channel of a cell; and offset parameter(s) for determining a number of UCI resources. A downlink control information is received comprising: an uplink grant indicating uplink radio resources of the uplink data channel of the cell; and an offset indicator value. A first transport block and first UCI(s) are transmitted via the uplink radio resources. The uplink radio resources comprise first resources of the first UCI(s). A first number of the first resources are determined based on the offset indicator value. A second transport block and second UCI(s) are transmitting via one of the first uplink resources. The one of the uplink resources comprise second resources of the second UCI(s). A second number of the second resources are determined based on the offset parameter(s).
