Multiplexing information with different priority values

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• determine a maximum number of resource elements (REs) of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for multiplexing first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information, wherein:
• the maximum number of REs is determined by scaling, with a factor, a total number of REs available for multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH,
• the PUSCH has a first priority value,
• the factor has a first value when the first HARQ-ACK information has the first priority value, and
• the factor has a second value when the first HARQ-ACK information has a second priority value;
• and
• multiplex the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH over a number of REs that is smaller than or equal to the maximum number of REs;
• and
• a transceiver operably connected to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit the PUSCH.

A base station, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);
• and
• a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
• determine a maximum number of resource elements (REs) of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for de-multiplexing first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information, wherein:
• the maximum number of REs is determined by scaling, with a factor, a total number of REs available for multiplexing the first HARQ-ACK information in the PUSCH,
• the PUSCH has a first priority value,
• the factor has a first value when the first HARQ-ACK information has the first priority value, and
• the factor has a second value when the first HARQ-ACK information has a second priority value;
• and
• de-multiplex the first HARQ-ACK information from the PUSCH over a number of REs that is smaller than or equal to the maximum number of REs.
