Claim 0:
1. A method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising:
determining a number of bits of Hybrid Acknowledgement Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback to be transmitted;
transmitting Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) data in a PUSCH transmission; and
multiplexing the HARQ feedback in the PUSCH transmission, the PUSCH data and the HARQ feedback being multiplexed according to one of:
puncturing the HARQ feedback into the PUSCH data based on the determined number of bits of HARQ feedback to be transmitted being less than or equal to a preconfigured size threshold of 2 bits; and
rate-matching the PUSCH data around the HARQ feedback based on the determined number of bits of HARQ feedback to be transmitted being greater than the preconfigured size threshold of 2 bits.
