Uplink control information for enabling autonomous uplink transmissions

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor of a user equipment (UE) to perform operations, comprising:

• decoding, based on signaling receiving from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a beta offset value to be used for a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (CG-PUSCH) transmission;
• generating configured grant uplink control information (CG-UCI);
• generating hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information;
• generating channel state information (CSI);
• and
• mapping the CG-UCI, HARQ-ACK, and CSI to resource elements (REs) in resource blocks (RBs) of the CG-PUSCH transmission based, at least in part, on the beta offset value, wherein the CG-PUSCH transmission includes a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), and
• wherein the mapping includes one of mapping a concatenated bit sequence;
• concatenating the CG-UCI bits and the HARQ-ACK bits to form the concatenated bit sequence;
• encoding the concatenated bit sequence;
• and
• attaching a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), wherein the concatenating the CG-UCI bits and the HARQ-ACK bits occurs prior to the encoding and the attaching.
