Claim 33:
34. An apparatus for wireless communications at a network device, comprising:
a processor,
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
identify 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;
identify 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;
receive 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
determine 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.
