Claim 35:
36. An apparatus for wireless communications at a network device, comprising:
means for identifying that an uplink control information payload is to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) as a pseudo-random uplink control sequence that is initialized by a seed when the uplink control information payload satisfies a threshold size condition, wherein the pseudo-random uplink control sequence is a binary or quadrature phase shift keying modulated Gold or M sequence;
means for identifying one or more sets of pseudo-random uplink control sequences from which the pseudo-random uplink control sequence is to be selected by the UE based at least in part on the seed, wherein the seed is generated based at least in part on the uplink control information payload;
means for receiving a physical uplink control channel that includes the pseudo-random uplink control sequence based at least in part on the seed, the pseudo-random uplink control sequence being representative of the uplink control information payload; and
means for determining the uplink control information payload by associating the pseudo-random uplink control sequence with a corresponding sequence index of the one or more sets of pseudo-random uplink control sequences.
