Resource element mapping for multiplexing high priority uplink control information (uci) and low priority uci in a physical uplink control channel

A method for wireless communication by a network entity, the method comprising:

• outputting an indication of a quantization parameter for a first type of uplink control information (UCI) of a first priority;
• determining a total number of resource blocks (RBs) to monitor for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, wherein the determining is based on an expected quantized payload size for the first type of UCI of the first priority and an expected non-quantized payload size of a second type of UCI of a second priority, and wherein the second priority is different than the first priority;
• and
• monitoring the total number of RBs for the PUCCH transmission.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• memory comprising computer executable code;
• and
• one or more processors configured to, individually or collectively, execute the computer executable and cause the apparatus to:
• output an indication of a quantization parameter for a first type of uplink control information (UCI) of a first priority;
• determine a total number of resource blocks (RBs) to monitor a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, wherein the determination is based on an expected quantized payload size for the first type of UCI of the first priority and an expected non-quantized payload size of a second type of UCI of a second priority, and wherein the second priority is different than the first priority;
• and
• monitor the total number of RBs for the PUCCH transmission.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable code, the computer executable code comprising:

• code for outputting an indication of a quantization parameter for a first type of uplink control information (UCI) of a first priority;
• code for determining a total number of resource blocks (RBs) to monitor for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, wherein the determining is based on an expected quantized payload size for the first type of UCI of the first priority and an expected non-quantized payload size of a second type of UCI of a second priority, and wherein the second priority is different than the first priority;
• and
• code for monitoring the total number of RBs for the PUCCH transmission.
