Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
determine a mismatch between at least one of a location or the number of physical resource blocks occupied by at least one of a plurality of physical uplink shared channel transmissions and at least one of a location or the number of physical resource blocks occupied by a physical uplink control channel for a physical uplink control channel transmission occurring in between consecutive ones of the plurality of physical uplink shared channel transmissions and not overlapping in time with at least one of the plurality of physical uplink shared channel transmissions; and
based on the determined mismatch, perform operations comprising at least one of;
multiplexing uplink control information for the physical uplink control channel transmission with the at least one of the plurality of physical uplink shared channel transmissions, or
adapting the at least one of the location or the number of physical resource blocks of the physical uplink control channel transmission for matching the location and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by the at least one of the plurality of physical uplink shared channel transmissions,
wherein the multiplexing of the uplink control information on the physical uplink shared channel is further based on a ratio between resource elements occupied by the multiplexed uplink control information and resource elements of the physical uplink shared channel being less than a second threshold value.
