Uplink control information multiplexing with dynamic physical uplink shared channel skipping

A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving an uplink grant for transmission on a plurality of physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) in a slot, the plurality of PUSCHs being located on different component carriers (CCs);
• determining whether PUSCH data is to be transmitted in the slot;
• determining, before assigning the PUSCH data to a PUSCH of the plurality of PUSCHs, whether to transmit uplink control information (UCI) in the slot on one or more physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs) or to transmit the UCI in the slot on one or more PUSCHs of the plurality of PUSCHs based on the determination of whether the PUSCH data is to be transmitted in the slot;
• and
• transmitting the UCI in the slot on the determined one or more PUCCHs or on the determined one or more PUSCHs.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the memory, the processor and memory configured to:
• receive an uplink grant for transmission on a plurality of physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs), the plurality of PUSCHs being located on different component carriers (CCs);
• identify one or more PUSCHs of the plurality of PUSCHs on which uplink control information (UCI) can be transmitted in a slot;
• assign PUSCH data, for transmission in the slot, to the one or more identified PUSCHs on which the UCI can be transmitted before assigning PUSCH data, for transmission in the slot, to remaining PUSCHs of the plurality of PUSCHs;
• and
• transmit the UCI and the PUSCH data in the slot on the assigned PUSCHs.
