It is noted that the number of bits for each field may not be limited to the listed example numbers as above, other numbers of bits for each field may be extended.
In some embodiments, CG-UCI may be transmitted in all the slots within the MCOT acquired by the grant-free UE. Or, the CG-UCI may be carried in all grant-free PUSCH transmissions.
In some embodiments, the content of the CG-UCI may be the same for all the slots within the MCOT acquired by the grant-free UE. In some embodiments, in order to allow grant-free transmission to be more agile, of reduced complexity, and/or of reduced latencies due to LBT failures, the CG-UCI may be piggybacked on uplink data within each PUSCH transmission.
