Abstract
Techniques and examples of reservation of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) resources in UCI in wireless communications are described. Accordingly, a UE determines how a HARQ-ACK is to be transmitted to a network node of a wireless network. The UE reserves HARQ-ACK resources among a plurality of resource elements (REs) for a two-bit HARQ-ACK based on a result of the determining. The UE then transmits the HARQ-ACK, having zero bit, one bit or two bits, to the network node in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using the reserved HARQ-ACK resources such that the PUSCH is punctured for the HARQ-ACK.
