Adaptive cyclic redundancy check for uplink control information encoding

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• measuring a channel response of a communication link between a user equipment and network equipment;
• selecting a cyclic redundancy check bit length from a cyclic redundancy check length map based on the channel response, resulting in a selected cyclic redundancy check bit length;
• and
• transmitting, during a first transmission stage of a two stage transmission, an indication of the selected cyclic redundancy check bit length to the network equipment, wherein cyclic redundancy check bits are not transmitted during the first transmission stage;
• and
• transmitting, to the network equipment during a second transmission stage of the two stage transmission, a channel state information payload and the cyclic redundancy check bits.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining a channel response of a communication link between a user equipment and network equipment;
• adjusting a number of cyclic redundancy check bits based on the channel response;
• and
• performing a two stage uplink control information signaling that indicates, to the network equipment, the number of cyclic redundancy check bits scheduled to be included in a subsequent transmission.
