Slot allocation for multiple groups of overlapping channels

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• transmit uplink control information (UCI) in a single time slot comprising two or more groups of overlapping channels, the two or more groups of overlapping channels comprising a first group and a second group, the first group comprising a first plurality of channels that overlap in time, the second group comprising a second plurality of channels that overlap in time, wherein the first group and the second group do not overlap in time;
• determine if a first earliest symbol in time corresponding to the first group meets at least a first timeline requirement and a second timeline requirement;
• determine if a second earliest symbol in time corresponding to the second group meets at least a third timeline requirement and a fourth timeline requirement;
• when the first earliest symbol meets the first timeline requirement and the second timeline requirement and the second earliest symbol meets the third timeline requirement and fourth timeline requirement:
• multiplex and transmit a first plurality of uplink control information (UCI) on a first channel of the first plurality of channels;
• and
• multiplex and transmit a second plurality of UCI on a second channel of the second plurality of channels.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions that when executed by a user equipment (UE) cause the UE to perform a method of transmitting uplink control information (UCI) in a single time slot comprising two or more groups of overlapping channels by a UE, the two or more groups of overlapping channels comprising a first group and a second group, the first group comprising a first plurality of channels that overlap in time, the second group comprising a second plurality of channels that overlap in time, wherein the first group and the second group do not overlap in time, the method comprising:

• determining if a first earliest symbol in time corresponding to the first group meets at least a first timeline requirement and a second timeline requirement;
• determining if a second earliest symbol in time corresponding to the second group meets at least a third timeline requirement and a fourth timeline requirement;
• when the first earliest symbol meets the first timeline requirement and the second timeline requirement and the second earliest symbol meets the third timeline requirement and fourth timeline requirement:
• multiplexing and transmitting a first plurality of uplink control information (UCI) on a first channel of the first plurality of channels;
• and
• multiplexing and transmitting a second plurality of UCI on a second channel of the second plurality of channels.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a means for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) in a single time slot comprising two or more groups of overlapping channels by a UE, the two or more groups of overlapping channels comprising a first group and a second group, the first group comprising a first plurality of channels that overlap in time, the second group comprising a second plurality of channels that overlap in time, wherein the first group and the second group do not overlap in time;
• a means for determining if a first earliest symbol in time corresponding to the first group meets at least a first timeline requirement and a second timeline requirement;
• a means for determining if a second earliest symbol in time corresponding to the second group meets at least a third timeline requirement and a fourth timeline requirement;
• when the first earliest symbol meets the first timeline requirement and the second timeline requirement and the second earliest symbol meets the third timeline requirement and fourth timeline requirement:
• a means for multiplexing and transmitting a first plurality of uplink control information (UCI) on a first channel of the first plurality of channels;
• and
• a means for multiplexing and transmitting a second plurality of UCI on a second channel of the second plurality of channels.
