Multiple physical uplink control channel (pucch) resources for an uplink control information (uci) report

An apparatus, comprising circuitry configured to:

• receive one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configurations from a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, each PUCCH resource configuration being associated with a resource index, each PUCCH resource configuration indicating multiple physical resources distributed in different subbands configured to the UE;
• receive a PUCCH resource set including a list of the resource indices of ones of the one or more PUCCH resource configurations;
• determine a first resource index from the resource indices included in the PUCCH resource set based on a PUCCH resource indication signaled from the BS;
• determine a first PUCCH resource from the multiple physical resources indicated by the PUCCH resource configuration associated with the first resource index;
• and
• transmit an uplink control information (UCI) on the first PUCCH resource determined from the multiple physical resources indicated by the PUCCH resource configuration associated with the first resource index.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configurations from a base station (BS) at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, each PUCCH resource configuration being associated with a resource index, each PUCCH resource configuration indicating multiple physical resources distributed in different subbands configured to the UE;
• receiving a PUCCH resource set including a list of the resource indices of ones of the one or more PUCCH resource configurations;
• determining a first resource index from the resource indices included in the PUCCH resource set based on a PUCCH resource indication signaled from the BS;
• determining a first PUCCH resource from the multiple physical resources indicated by the PUCCH resource configuration associated with the first resource index;
• and
• transmitting an uplink control information (UCI) on the first PUCCH resource determined from the multiple physical resources indicated by the PUCCH resource configuration associated with the first resource index.
