Scheduled UCI Transmission Scheme

A method, performed by a radio network device operative in a wireless communication network utilizing slot timing where a slot comprises a predetermined number of symbols, of transmitting data and Uplink Control Information, UCI, the method comprising:

• transmitting uplink data on a physical uplink shared channel aggregating two or more contiguous slots for an uplink transmission spanning the aggregated slots;
• receiving an indication of at least one of the aggregated slots in which to transmit UCI;
• and
• transmitting, in addition to the uplink data, UCI in the indicated at least one of the aggregated slots on the physical uplink shared channel.

A radio network device operative in a wireless communication network utilizing slot timing where a slot comprises a predetermined number of symbols, comprising:

• one or more antennas;
• a transceiver operatively connected to the antennas;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively connected to the transceiver and operative to
• transmit uplink data on a physical uplink shared channel aggregating two or more contiguous slots for an uplink transmission spanning the aggregated slots;
• receive an indication of at least one of the aggregated slots in which to transmit Uplink Control Information, UCI;
• and
• transmit, in addition to the uplink data, UCI, in the indicated at least one of the aggregated slots on the physical uplink shared channel.

A method, performed by network node in a wireless communication network utilizing slot timing where a slot comprises a predetermined number of symbols, of receiving data and Uplink Control Information, UCI, from a radio network device, comprising:

• receiving from the radio network device uplink data on a physical uplink shared channel aggregating two or more contiguous slots for an uplink transmission spanning the aggregated slots;
• transmitting to the radio network device an indication of at least one of the aggregated slots in which to transmit UCI;
• and
• receiving from the radio network device, in addition to the uplink data, UCI in the indicated at least one of the aggregated slots on the physical uplink shared channel.
