Multiplexing uplink control information on uplink shared channel transmissions

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive an uplink grant that schedules a transmission of an uplink shared channel using a first number of symbols;
• identify, based at least in part on the uplink grant, at least a first uplink transmission opportunity and a second uplink transmission opportunity during which the uplink shared channel is to be transmitted, wherein at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity or the second uplink transmission opportunity includes a second number of symbols different from the first number of symbols allocated for the uplink shared channel;
• identify uplink control information (UCI) to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel during at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity;
• multiplex the UCI on the uplink shared channel so as to maintain a same rate-matching scheme and a same coding scheme for each of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity;
• and
• transmit the uplink shared channel and the UCI during the at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for receiving an uplink grant that schedules a transmission of an uplink shared channel using a first number of symbols;
• means for identifying, based at least in part on the uplink grant, at least a first uplink transmission opportunity and a second uplink transmission opportunity during which the uplink shared channel is to be transmitted, wherein at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity or the second uplink transmission opportunity includes a second number of symbols different from the first number of symbols allocated for the uplink shared channel;
• means for identifying uplink control information (UCI) to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel during at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity;
• means for multiplexing the UCI on the uplink shared channel so as to maintain a same rate-matching scheme and a same coding scheme for each of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity;
• and
• means for transmitting the uplink shared channel and the UCI during the at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• receive an uplink grant that schedules a transmission of an uplink shared channel using a first number of symbols;
• identify, based at least in part on the uplink grant, at least a first uplink transmission opportunity and a second uplink transmission opportunity during which the uplink shared channel is to be transmitted, wherein at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity or the second uplink transmission opportunity includes a second number of symbols different from the first number of symbols allocated for the uplink shared channel;
• identify uplink control information (UCI) to be multiplexed on the uplink shared channel during at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity;
• multiplex the UCI on the uplink shared channel so as to maintain a same rate-matching scheme and a same coding scheme for each of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity;
• and
• transmit the uplink shared channel and the UCI during the at least one of the first uplink transmission opportunity and the second uplink transmission opportunity.
