Method and apparatus for determining resources for pucch transmission with acknowledgment information

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive:
• information for first resources for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions to provide hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in response to semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) receptions associated with a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) from a first set of RNTIs, and
• information for second resources for PUCCH transmissions to provide HARQ-ACK information in response to SPS PDSCH receptions associated with a second RNTI from a second set of RNTIs;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine a first resource from the first resources for a first PUCCH to provide only:
• first HARQ-ACK information in response to first SPS PDSCH receptions associated with the first RNTI, and
• second HARQ-ACK information in response to second SPS PDSCH receptions associated with the second RNTI,
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the first PUCCH with the first and second HARQ-ACK information using the first resource.

A base station comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit:
• information for first resources for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) receptions that provide hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in response to semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions associated with a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) from a first set of RNTIs, and
• information for second resources for PUCCH receptions that provide HARQ-ACK information in response to SPS PDSCH transmissions associated with a second RNTI from a second set of RNTIs;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine a first resource from the first resources for a first PUCCH that provides only:
• first HARQ-ACK information in response to first SPS PDSCH transmissions associated with the first RNTI, and
• second HARQ-ACK information in response to second SPS PDSCH transmissions associated with the second RNTI,
• wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive the first PUCCH using the first resource.
