Uplink control channel configuration for wireless communications

A method for wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:

• transmitting an indication of an uplink configuration, wherein the uplink configuration comprises one or more of a starting position or a duration for resources of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
• determining a hopping pattern for transmission of uplink control information (UCI) within a first uplink portion;
• and
• receiving the UCI during the first uplink portion or a second uplink portion of a slot according to the hopping pattern, the starting position, and the duration, the hopping pattern for transmission of the UCI occurring within the first uplink portion and not extending into the second uplink portion.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving an indication of an uplink configuration, wherein the uplink configuration comprises one or more of a starting position or a duration for resources of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
• means for identifying uplink control information (UCI) for transmission during a first uplink portion of a slot, wherein the slot includes the first uplink portion and a second uplink portion, and wherein the first uplink portion has a longer duration than the second uplink portion;
• means for determining a hopping pattern for transmission of the UCI within the first uplink portion having the longer duration, the hopping pattern for transmission of the UCI occurring within the first uplink portion and not extending into the second uplink portion;
• means for determining PUCCH resources for transmitting the UCI based at least in part on whether a payload size of the UCI exceeds a threshold size;
• and
• means for transmitting the UCI during the first uplink portion of the slot according to the hopping pattern, the starting position, and the duration for the determined PUCCH resources.
