## Abstract

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, first information associated with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource associated with hybrid automatic request—acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK); receiving, from the base station, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); identifying the PUCCH resource based on second information associated with HARQ-ACK which is obtained from the first information, and third information associated with uplink control information (UCI); transmitting, to the base station, HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCH and at least one scheduling request (SR) via the identified PUCCH resource.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, first configuration information associated with a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and second configuration information associated with a second PUCCH;
identifying that the first PUCCH that includes first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information overlaps the second PUCCH that includes second HARQ-ACK information and a scheduling request (SR);
multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information and the SR in a PUCCH; and
transmitting, to the base station, the PUCCH including the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR, wherein a second priority index related to the second HARQ-ACK information and the SR is larger than a first priority index related to the first HARQ-ACK information, and the PUCCH is associated with the second configuration information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the SR is appended to the second HARQ-ACK information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the SR, the first HARQ-ACK information, and the second HARQ-ACK information are transmitted simultaneously.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the PUCCH including the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR is the second PUCCH.

### Claim 5

A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), first configuration information associated with a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) that includes first hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information, and second configuration information associated with a second PUCCH that includes second HARQ-ACK information and a scheduling request (SR), wherein a first priority index is related to the first HARQ-ACK information and a second priority index is related to the second HARQ-ACK information and the SR; and
receiving, from the UE, a PUCCH including the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR, wherein the second priority index is larger than the first priority index, and the PUCCH is associated with the second configuration information,
wherein the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR are multiplexed in the PUCCH, and the first PUCCH overlaps the second PUCCH.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the SR is appended to the second HARQ-ACK information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the SR, the first HARQ-ACK information, and the second HARQ-ACK information are transmitted simultaneously.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the PUCCH including the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR is the second PUCCH.

### Claim 9

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising
a transceiver; and
at least one processor coupled to the transceiver;
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive, from a base station, first configuration information associated with a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and second configuration information associated with a second PUCCH,
identify that the first PUCCH that includes first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information overlaps the second PUCCH that includes second HARQ-ACK information and a scheduling request (SR),
multiplex the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR in a PUCCH, and
transmit, to the base station, the PUCCH including the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR, wherein a second priority index related to the second HARQ-ACK information and the SR is larger than a first priority index related to the first HARQ-ACK information, and the PUCCH is associated with the second configuration information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The UE of claim 9, wherein the SR is appended to the second HARQ-ACK information.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The UE of claim 9,
wherein the SR, the first HARQ-ACK information, and the second HARQ-ACK information are transmitted simultaneously.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The UE of claim 9, wherein the PUCCH including the first HARQ-ACK information, the second HARQ-ACK information, and the SR is the second PUCCH.

### Claim 13

A base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
