Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine an increased bandwidth configuration for an enhanced physical uplink control channel (ePUCCH) based at least in part on an ePUCCH format of the ePUCCH, wherein the increased bandwidth configuration uses a plurality of contiguous resource blocks (RBs) for the ePUCCH; and transmit the ePUCCH using the increased bandwidth configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive configuration information indicating an enhanced physical uplink control channel (ePUCCH) format for an ePUCCH, wherein the ePUCCH format comprises a ePUCCH Format 0 or an ePUCCH Format 1, wherein the ePUCCH is associated with an increased bandwidth configuration based at least in part on the ePUCCH format of the ePUCCH, wherein the increased bandwidth configuration uses a plurality of contiguous resource blocks (RBs) for the ePUCCH, and wherein the plurality of contiguous RBs are associated with a frequency range above 24.25 GHz;
- encode the plurality of contiguous RBs using an extended sequence relative to a sequence specified by the ePUCCH Format 0 or the ePUCCH Format 1 for the ePUCCH;
- and
- transmit the ePUCCH using the increased bandwidth configuration.
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving configuration information indicating an enhanced physical uplink control channel (ePUCCH) format for an ePUCCH, wherein the ePUCCH format comprises a ePUCCH Format 0 or an ePUCCH Format 1, wherein the ePUCCH is associated with an increased bandwidth configuration based at least in part on the ePUCCH format of the ePUCCH, wherein the increased bandwidth configuration uses a plurality of contiguous resource blocks (RBs) for the ePUCCH, and wherein the plurality of contiguous RBs are associated with a frequency range above 24.25 GHz;
- encoding the plurality of contiguous RBs using an extended sequence relative to a sequence specified by the ePUCCH Format 0 or the ePUCCH Format 1 for the ePUCCH;
- and
- transmitting the ePUCCH using the increased bandwidth configuration.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- receive configuration information indicating an enhanced physical uplink control channel (ePUCCH) format for an ePUCCH, wherein the ePUCCH format comprises a ePUCCH Format 0 or an ePUCCH Format 1, wherein the ePUCCH is associated with an increased bandwidth configuration based at least in part on the ePUCCH format of the ePUCCH, wherein the increased bandwidth configuration uses a plurality of contiguous resource blocks (RBs) for the ePUCCH, and wherein the plurality of contiguous RBs are associated with a frequency range above 24.25 GHz;
- encode the plurality of contiguous RBs using an extended sequence relative to a sequence specified by the ePUCCH Format 0 or the ePUCCH Format 1 for the ePUCCH;
- and
- transmit the ePUCCH using the increased bandwidth configuration.
