Techniques for configuring uplink control channel transmissions in a shared radio frequency spectrum band

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• identifying a plurality of different uplink control information (UCI) formats for transmitting UCI in an uplink control channel transmission;
• configuring, for each of the plurality of different UCI formats, a different subset of uplink control channel resources from a set of uplink control channel resources, wherein each subset of uplink control channel resources comprises a subset of uplink control channel frequency resources, a subset of uplink control channel time resources, or combinations thereof;
• and
• communicating the configured subsets of uplink control channel resources to one or more receivers.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• identify an uplink control information (UCI) format for transmitting UCI using an uplink control channel transmission;
• identify, based at least in part on the identified UCI format, a first subset of uplink control channel resources from a set of configured uplink control channel resources, the set of configured uplink control channel resources includes a plurality of subsets of uplink control channel frequency resources, a plurality of subsets of uplink control channel time resources, or combinations thereof, and wherein different subsets of the set of configured uplink control channel resources correspond to different UCI formats;
• and
• communicate the UCI using the first subset of uplink control channel resources.
