## Abstract

In one example, a method for a user equipment (UE) includes generating uplink (UL) signal data. The UL signal data includes UL control information (UCI) and UL shared channel (UL-SCH), the UCI includes a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) feedback or a channel state information (CSI) report, and the CSI report includes a first CSI part and a second CSI part. One or more resource regions are allocated to transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback or the first CSI part and the second CSI part. When frequency hopping is enabled for a transmission of PUSCH, the allocated one or more resource regions for the transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback or the first CSI part and the second CSI part are substantially equally divided into two portions, and each portion is transmitted in each frequency hop, frequency first mapping is applied to the transmission of PUSCH in each frequency hop.
