In some embodiments, the CG-UCI may be mapped from symbol #1 up to symbol #12 (a symbol index starts from #0 within a slot), starting from the highest or lowest subcarrier index of the frequency resource block available for CG UL transmissions. In some embodiments, symbol #0 and symbol #13 (i.e., the first and last symbols within a slot) may not be used for CG-UCI. In some embodiments, the CG-UCI may be mapped on a number of X symbols after the first symbol of PUSCH, where X, for example, may be 2 or 3. In some embodiments, the UL-SCH may be rate-matched around the CG-UCI on the PUSCH.
In embodiments, the number of coded modulation symbols per layer for CG-UCI transmission may be evaluated as follows:
