Methods and apparatuses of uci transmission

A Base Station (BS) for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the BS to:
• transmit information scheduling or activating a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the PUSCH is configured with a plurality of repetitions being frequency multiplexed, and each repetition of the plurality of repetitions is associated with a beam of a plurality of beams;
• and
• receive uplink control information (UCI) on at least one repetition of the plurality of repetitions of the PUSCH transmission, wherein in the case that the UCI is received on at least two repetitions of the plurality of repetitions, a total number of coded bits of the UCI on each of the at least two repetitions is identical.

A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one controller coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
• receive information scheduling or activating a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the PUSCH is configured with a plurality of repetitions being frequency multiplexed, and each repetition of the plurality of repetitions is associated with a beam of a plurality of beams;
• and
• transmit uplink control information (UCI) on at least one repetition of the plurality of repetitions of the PUSCH transmission, wherein, when the UCI is transmitted on at least two repetitions of the plurality of repetitions, a total number of coded bits of the UCI on each of the at least two repetitions is identical.
