Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a base station; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
multiplex at least a first Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) of a first priority and a second HARQ of a second priority to form an initial uplink control information (UCI) payload;
select a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource accordingly to a PUCCH configuration;
generate a second UCI payload based on the initial UCI payload by removing or replacing at least a portion of the initial UCI payload when a size of the initial UCI payload is larger than a payload size of the PUCCH resource;
encode at least a portion of the second UCI payload including the first HARQ of the first priority to generate an error correction code word;
add the error correction code word to the second UCI payload to generate a transmission UCI payload; and
transmit, using the transceiver, the transmission UCI payload to the base station.
