Abstract
Apparatus and methods of Uplink Control Information (UCI) multiplexing in Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources for multiple Transmit Receive Points (TRPs) are disclosed. The apparatus includes: a processor that determines a first group PUCCH resources associated with a first identity for transmitting a first set of UCIs associated with the first identity, and a second group of PUCCH resources associated with a second identity for transmitting a second group of UCIs associated with the second identity, wherein the first set of UCIs and the second set of UCIs are expected to be transmitted in a same time interval; and a third group of PUCCH resources comprising at least one PUCCH resource selected from the first group of PUCCH resources and the second group of PUCCH resources; and a transmitter that transmits the third group of PUCCH resources in the time interval.
