CROSS REFERENCE 
     The present Application is a 371 national stage filing of International PCT Application No. PCT/CN2020/098294 by YUAN et al. entitled “UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION MULTIPLEXING RULE FOR SIMULTANEOUS UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL AND UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSION,” filed Jun. 25, 2020, which is assigned to the assignee hereof, and which is expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. 
    
    
     FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY 
     The following relates generally to wireless communications and more specifically to an uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE). 
     SUMMARY 
     The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support an uplink control information (UCI) multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to determine a capability to support a mode of UCI transmission corresponding to transmitting the UCI on an uplink control channel (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)) and an uplink signal on an uplink shared channel (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) when the resources of the PUCCH and the resources of the PUSCH are at least partially overlapping. In some cases, the UE may be capable of performing one or more modes of UCI transmission. For example, in a first UCI transmission mode, the UE may transmit UCI on a PUCCH with resources (e.g., time-frequency resources) that overlap with a PUSCH. In another UCI transmission mode, the UE may multiplex the UCI in the PUSCH and, in some cases, may drop the PUCCH. In some cases, the UE may transmit an indication of the capability to a base station. In some examples, the base station may transmit a configuration indicating to the UE to use a UCI transmission mode. The UE may transmit UCI on the PUCCH and uplink signal on the PUSCH based on the configuration from the base station, which may improve reliability (e.g., coverage) at the UE. 
     A method of wireless communications at a UE is described. The method may include determining a capability of the UE to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission, the first mode corresponding to transmission of UCI on an uplink control channel that overlaps in time at least in part with an uplink shared channel, and the second mode corresponding to transmission of the UCI multiplexed on the uplink shared channel, receiving, from a base station, a configuration indicating that the UE is to use the first mode of UCI transmission, and transmitting, based on the received configuration, the UCI on the uplink control channel and an uplink signal on the uplink shared channel. 
     An apparatus for wireless communications at a UE is described. The apparatus may include a processor, memory coupled with the processor, and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions may be executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to determine a capability of the UE to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission, the first mode corresponding to transmission of UCI on an uplink control channel that overlaps in time at least in part with an uplink shared channel, and the second mode corresponding to transmission of the UCI multiplexed on the uplink shared channel, receive, from a base station, a configuration indicating that the UE is to use the first mode of UCI transmission, and transmit, based on the received configuration, the UCI on the uplink control channel and an uplink signal on the uplink shared channel.

     A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications at a UE is described. The code may include instructions executable by a processor to determine a capability of the UE to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission, the first mode corresponding to transmission of UCI on an uplink control channel that overlaps in time at least in part with an uplink shared channel, and the second mode corresponding to transmission of the UCI multiplexed on the uplink shared channel, receive, from a base station, a configuration indicating that the UE is to use the first mode of UCI transmission, and transmit, based on the received configuration, the UCI on the uplink control channel and an uplink signal on the uplink shared channel.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may receive one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages from a base station. For example, the UE may receive DCI associated with an uplink shared channel (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) transmission and DCI associated with a downlink shared channel (e.g., a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)) transmission. The UE may attempt to transmit uplink control information (UCI) (e.g., a feedback message, a scheduling request, a channel state information (CSI) report, or the like) in response to the PDSCH transmission on an uplink control channel (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH)) and an uplink signal (e.g., including control information or data) on the PUSCH. In some cases, the UE may multiplex at least a portion of the UCI and the uplink signal on the PUSCH when resources, such as time-frequency resources, associated with the PUCCH overlap with resources associated with the PUSCH. In some other cases, the resources associated with the PUCCH may not overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH. However, the UE may multiplex acknowledgement feedback information, CSI, or both in the PUSCH, and may drop the PUCCH, including any other UCI that would have been transmitted on the PUCCH, which may cause inefficient communication (e.g., due to retransmission of UCI). 
     As described herein, a UE may determine a capability to support a mode of UCI transmission corresponding to transmitting the UCI on a PUCCH and an uplink signal on a PUSCH concurrently when the resources of the PUCCH and the resources of the PUSCH are at least partially overlapping in time, which may improve reliability (e.g., coverage) at the UE. In some cases, the UE may be capable of performing one or more modes of UCI transmission. For example, in a UCI transmission mode, the UE may transmit UCI on a PUCCH with resources (e.g., time-frequency resources) that overlap with a PUSCH and may also transmit the overlapped PUSCH. In another UCI transmission mode, the UE may multiplex the UCI in the overlapped PUSCH and, in some cases, may drop the PUCCH. 
     In some cases, the UE may transmit an indication of the capability to a base station. In some examples, the base station may transmit a configuration indicating to the UE to use a UCI transmission mode. The UE may transmit UCI on the PUCCH and uplink signal on the PUSCH based on the configuration of the UCI transmission mode from the base station. In some cases, the base station may transmit the configuration to the UE via RRC signaling. In some examples, the UE may receive an RRC configuration from the base station if a serving cell of the PUCCH is not configured with a transmission control information (TCI) state (e.g., the PUCCH may lack a beam configuration). In some cases, the PUCCH and the PUSCH may be associated with the same serving cell. In some other cases, the PUCCH and the PUSCH may be associated with different serving cells. 
     Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Additional aspects of the disclosure are described with reference to processing timelines and a process flow. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to a UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission. 
       FIG.  1    illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  100  that supports UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system  100  may include one or more base stations  105 , one or more UEs  115 , and a core network  130 . In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission critical) communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof. 
     The base stations  105  may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system  100  and may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. The base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links  125 . Each base station  105  may provide a coverage area  110  over which the UEs  115  and the base station  105  may establish one or more communication links  125 . The coverage area  110  may be an example of a geographic area over which a base station  105  and a UE  115  may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies. 
     The UEs  115  may be dispersed throughout a coverage area  110  of the wireless communications system  100 , and each UE  115  may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs  115  may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs  115  are illustrated in  FIG.  1   . The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115 , the base stations  105 , or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), as shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     The base stations  105  may communicate with the core network  130 , or with one another, or both. For example, the base stations  105  may interface with the core network  130  through one or more backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations  105  may communicate with one another over the backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) either directly (e.g., directly between base stations  105 ), or indirectly (e.g., via core network  130 ), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links  120  may be or include one or more wireless links. 
     One or more of the base stations  105  described herein may include or may be referred to by a person having ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or a giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology. 
     A UE  115  may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE  115  may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE  115  may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, or vehicles, meters, among other examples. 
     The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115  that may sometimes act as relays as well as the base stations  105  and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in  FIG.  1   . 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may wirelessly communicate with one another via one or more communication links  125  over one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication links  125 . For example, a carrier used for a communication link  125  may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that is operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system  100  may support communication with a UE  115  using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE  115  may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. 
     In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates operations for other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an evolved universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) absolute radio frequency channel number (EARFCN)) and may be positioned according to a channel raster for discovery by the UEs  115 . A carrier may be operated in a standalone mode where initial acquisition and connection may be conducted by the UEs  115  via the carrier, or the carrier may be operated in a non-standalone mode where a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or a different radio access technology). 
     The communication links  125  shown in the wireless communications system  100  may include uplink transmissions from a UE  115  to a base station  105 , or downlink transmissions from a base station  105  to a UE  115 . Carriers may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode). 
     A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a “system bandwidth” of the carrier or the wireless communications system  100 . For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a number of determined bandwidths for carriers of a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communications system  100  (e.g., the base stations  105 , the UEs  115 , or both) may have hardware configurations that support communications over a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communications over one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may include base stations  105  or UEs  115  that support simultaneous communications via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE  115  may be configured for operating over portions (e.g., a sub-band, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth. 
     Signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements that a UE  115  receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate may be for the UE  115 . A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE  115 . 
     One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where a numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (Δf) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE  115  may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time and communications for the UE  115  may be restricted to one or more active BWPs. 
     The time intervals for the base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of T S =1/(Δf max ·N f  ) seconds, where Δf max  may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N f  may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023). 
     Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems  100 , a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N f ) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation. 
     A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system  100  and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system  100  may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)). 
     Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs  115 . For example, one or more of the UEs  115  may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to a number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to multiple UEs  115  and UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a specific UE  115 . 
     Each base station  105  may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, for example a macro cell, a small cell, a hot spot, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with a base station  105  (e.g., over a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier for distinguishing neighboring cells (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or others). In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area  110  or a portion of a geographic coverage area  110  (e.g., a sector) over which the logical communication entity operates. Such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., a structure, a subset of structure) to larger areas depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station  105 . For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or exterior spaces between or overlapping with geographic coverage areas  110 , among other examples. 
     A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by the UEs  115  with service subscriptions with the network provider supporting the macro cell. A small cell may be associated with a lower-powered base station  105 , as compared with a macro cell, and a small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency bands as macro cells. Small cells may provide unrestricted access to the UEs  115  with service subscriptions with the network provider or may provide restricted access to the UEs  115  having an association with the small cell (e.g., the UEs  115  in a closed subscriber group (CSG), the UEs  115  associated with users in a home or office). A base station  105  may support one or multiple cells and may also support communications over the one or more cells using one or multiple component carriers. 
     In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access for different types of devices. 
     In some examples, a base station  105  may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area  110 . In some examples, different geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas  110  may be supported by the same base station  105 . In other examples, the overlapping geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations  105 . The wireless communications system  100  may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the base stations  105  provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas  110  using the same or different radio access technologies. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the base stations  105  may have similar frame timings, and transmissions from different base stations  105  may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the base stations  105  may have different frame timings, and transmissions from different base stations  105  may, in some examples, not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for either synchronous or asynchronous operations. 
     Some UEs  115 , such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low cost or low complexity devices and may provide for automated communication between machines (e.g., via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with one another or a base station  105  without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communications from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application program that makes use of the information or presents the information to humans interacting with the application program. Some UEs  115  may be designed to collect information or enable automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction-based business charging. 
     Some UEs  115  may be configured to employ operating modes that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communications (e.g., a mode that supports one-way communication via transmission or reception, but not transmission and reception simultaneously). In some examples, half-duplex communications may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for the UEs  115  include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaging in active communications, operating over a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs  115  may be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type that is associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard-band of a carrier, or outside of a carrier. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) or mission critical communications. The UEs  115  may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission critical functions). Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more mission critical services such as mission critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission critical video (MCVideo), or mission critical data (MCData). Support for mission critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission critical services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission critical, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein. 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs  115  over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link  135  (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs  115  utilizing D2D communications may be within the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105 . Other UEs  115  in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105  or be otherwise unable to receive transmissions from a base station  105 . In some examples, groups of the UEs  115  communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE  115  transmits to every other UE  115  in the group. In some examples, a base station  105  facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are carried out between the UEs  115  without the involvement of a base station  105 . 
     In some systems, the D2D communication link  135  may be an example of a communication channel, such as a sidelink communication channel, between vehicles (e.g., UEs  115 ). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, or some combination of these. A vehicle may signal information related to traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergencies, or any other information relevant to a V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as roadside units, or with the network via one or more network nodes (e.g., base stations  105 ) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communications, or with both. 
     The core network  130  may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network  130  may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs  115  served by the base stations  105  associated with the core network  130 . User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to the network operators IP services  150 . The operators IP services  150  may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service. 
     Some of the network devices, such as a base station  105 , may include subcomponents such as an access network entity  140 , which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity  140  may communicate with the UEs  115  through one or more other access network transmission entities  145 , which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission/reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity  145  may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity  140  or base station  105  may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., a base station  105 ). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. The UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs  115  located indoors. The transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may also operate in a super high frequency (SHF) region using frequency bands from 3 GHz to 30 GHz, also known as the centimeter band, or in an extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz), also known as the millimeter band. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between the UEs  115  and the base stations  105 , and EHF antennas of the respective devices may be smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some examples, this may facilitate use of antenna arrays within a device. The propagation of EHF transmissions, however, may be subject to even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter range than SHF or UHF transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein may be employed across transmissions that use one or more different frequency regions, and designated use of bands across these frequency regions may differ by country or regulating body. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, devices such as the base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples. 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a base station  105  or a UE  115  may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station  105  may be located in diverse geographic locations. A base station  105  may have an antenna array with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station  105  may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE  115 . Likewise, a UE  115  may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, an antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port. 
     The base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase the spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. The multiple signals may, for example, be transmitted by the transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Likewise, the multiple signals may be received by the receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices. 
     Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station  105 , a UE  115 ) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating at particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation). 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may use beam sweeping techniques as part of beam forming operations. For example, a base station  105  may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to conduct beamforming operations for directional communications with a UE  115 . Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by a base station  105  multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station  105  may transmit a signal according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device, such as a base station  105 , or by a receiving device, such as a UE  115 ) a beam direction for later transmission or reception by the base station  105 . 
     Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by a base station  105  in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with the receiving device, such as a UE  115 ). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based on a signal that was transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, a UE  115  may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the base station  105  in different directions and may report to the base station  105  an indication of the signal that the UE  115  received with a highest signal quality or an otherwise acceptable signal quality. 
     In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., by a base station  105  or a UE  115 ) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a base station  105  to a UE  115 ). The UE  115  may report feedback that indicates precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more sub-bands. The base station  105  may transmit a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or unprecoded. The UE  115  may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted in one or more directions by a base station  105 , a UE  115  may employ similar techniques for transmitting signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE  115 ) or for transmitting a signal in a single direction (e.g., for transmitting data to a receiving device). 
     A receiving device (e.g., a UE  115 ) may try multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals from the base station  105 , such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals. For example, a receiving device may try multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, a receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned in a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have a highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. A Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate over logical channels. A Medium Access Control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer may provide establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE  115  and a base station  105  or a core network  130  supporting radio bearers for user plane data. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels. 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that data is received successfully. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is received correctly over a communication link  125 . HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific slot for data received in a previous symbol in the slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot, or according to some other time interval. 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may receive one or more DCI messages from a base station  105  via one or more component carriers, or serving cells. For example, the UE  115  may receive DCI associated with an uplink shared channel (e.g., a PUSCH) transmission and DCI associated with a downlink shared channel (e.g., a PDSCH) transmission. The UE  115  may attempt to transmit UCI (e.g., a feedback message in response to the PDSCH transmission, a scheduling request, a CSI report, or the like) on an uplink control channel (e.g., a PUCCH) and an uplink signal (e.g., including control information or data) on the PUSCH. In some cases, the UE  115  may multiplex at least a portion of the UCI and the uplink signal on the PUSCH when resources, such as time-frequency resources, associated with the PUCCH overlap with resources associated with the PUSCH. In some cases, the UE  115  may multiplex feedback information (e.g., a HARQ acknowledgement (ACK)) from the UCI in the PUSCH transmission. Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115  may multiplex a CSI report in the PUSCH transmission. 
     In some other cases, the resources associated with the PUCCH may not overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH. The UE  115  may multiplex feedback information (e.g., with or without a scheduling request) and one or more CSI reports in a same PUCCH based on a configuration indication from a base station  105 . Thus, the UE  115  may multiplex UCI associated with a PUCCH in a PUSCH when resources associated with the PUCCH overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH or may multiplex UCI in a same PUCCH if the resources associated with the PUCCH do not overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH. However, the capability of the UE  115  to multiplex the UCI in the PUSCH may be limited. For example, the UE  115  may multiplex acknowledgement feedback information, CSI, or both in the PUSCH, and may drop the PUCCH, including any other UCI that would have been transmitted on the PUCCH, which may cause inefficient communication (e.g., due to retransmission of UCI). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may support the use of techniques that enable a UE  115  to determine a capability to support a mode of UCI transmission corresponding to transmitting the UCI on a PUCCH and an uplink signal on a PUSCH when the resources of the PUCCH and the resources of the PUSCH are at least partially overlapping, which may improve reliability (e.g., coverage) at the UE  115 . In some cases, the UE  115  may be capable of performing one or more modes of UCI transmission. For example, in a UCI transmission mode, the UE  115  may transmit UCI on a PUCCH with resources (e.g., time-frequency resources) that overlap with a PUSCH. In another UCI transmission mode, the UE  115  may multiplex the UCI in the PUSCH and, in some cases, may drop the PUCCH. 
     In some cases, the UE  115  may transmit an indication of the capability to a base station  105 . In some examples, the base station  105  may transmit a configuration indicating to the UE  115  to use a UCI transmission mode. The UE  115  may transmit UCI on the PUCCH and uplink signal on the PUSCH based on the configuration from the base station  105 . In some cases, the base station  105  may transmit the configuration to the UE  115  via RRC signaling. In some examples, the UE  115  may receive an RRC configuration from the base station  105  if a serving cell of the PUCCH is not configured with a TCI state (e.g., the PUCCH may lack a beam configuration). In some cases, the PUCCH and the PUSCH may be associated with the same serving cell. In some other cases, the PUCCH and the PUSCH may be associated with different serving cells. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  200  that supports UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, wireless communications system  200  may implement aspects of wireless communication system  100  and may include UE  115 - a , base station  105 - a  with coverage area  110 - a , and communication link  125 - a , which may be examples of a UE  115 , a base station  105 , and a communication link  125  as described with reference to  FIG.  1   . As described herein, a UE  115  may determine a capability associated with a transmission of UCI  205  to a base station  105 , which may improve reliability at the UE  115  (e.g., due to increased coverage related to frequency and less dropping of CSI reports) at the UE  115 . 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may receive one or more DCI messages from a base station  105  via one or more component carriers, or serving cells. For example, UE  115 - a  may receive DCI associated with an uplink shared channel transmission and DCI associated with a downlink shared channel (e.g., a PDSCH) transmission. The DCI messages may be associated with different cells or the same cell. The UE  115  may attempt to transmit UCI  205  (e.g., a feedback message in response to the PDSCH transmission, a scheduling request, a CSI report, or the like) on an uplink control channel (e.g., a PUCCH  210 ) and an uplink signal  215  (e.g., including control information or data) on an uplink shared channel (e.g., a PUSCH  220 ) based on one of the one or more DCI messages. In some cases, the UE  115  may multiplex at least a portion of the UCI  205  and the uplink signal  215  on an uplink channel (e.g., the PUSCH  220 ) due to minimum processing times associated with the PUCCH transmission and PUSCH transmission. 
     In some cases, a UE  115  may multiplex UCI  205  when resources, such as time-frequency resources, associated with an uplink control channel (e.g., a PUCCH  210 ) overlap with resources associated with an uplink shared channel (e.g., a PUSCH  220 ). For example, the UE  115  may multiplex UCI  205  in a PUCCH transmission that overlaps with a PUSCH transmission. In some cases, the UE  115  may multiplex feedback information (e.g., a HARQ ACK) from the UCI  205  in the PUSCH transmission. Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115  may multiplex a CSI report in the PUSCH transmission. In some cases, the CSI report may be a periodic CSI report, an aperiodic CSI report, or a semi-persistent CSI report. In some cases, such as if the UE  115  multiplexes UCI  205  in the PUSCH transmission, the UE  115  may not transmit on the PUCCH  210 . The UE  115  may not transmit a scheduling request if feedback information and one or more CSI reports are multiplexed in the PUSCH transmission. 
     In some other cases, the resources associated with the PUCCH  210  may not overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH  220 . The UE  115  may multiplex feedback information (e.g., with or without a scheduling request) and one or more CSI reports in a same PUCCH  210  based on a configuration indication (e.g., simultaneous HARQ-ACK-CSI). In some examples, the UE  115  may be configured with, or may determine to use, one or more PUCCH resources in a slot to transmit the one or more CSI reports. For example, the base station  105  may not provide the UE  115  with a multiple CSI report configuration indication (e.g., multi-CSI-PUCCH-ResourceList), or the PUCCH resources for a transmission of CSI reports may not overlap in a slot, so the UE  115  may use a resource corresponding to a CSI report with the highest priority relative to the other CSI reports of the one or more CSI reports. In some other examples, the base station  105  may provide the UE  115  with a multiple CSI report configuration indication, or the PUCCH resources for the transmission of CSI reports may overlap in the slot, the UE  115  may multiplex the one or more CSI reports in a resource from the resource provided by the indication. In some cases, the UE  115  may not transmit more than one PUCCH  210  with feedback information per slot. 
     Thus, the UE  115  may multiplex UCI  205  associated with a PUCCH  210  in a PUSCH  220  when resources associated with the PUCCH  210  overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH  220  or may multiplex UCI  205  in a same PUCCH  210  if the resources associated with the PUCCH  210  do not overlap with the resources associated with the PUSCH  220 . However, the capability of the UE  115  to multiplex the UCI  205  in the PUSCH  220  may be limited. For example, the UE  115  may multiplex acknowledgement feedback information, CSI, or both in the PUSCH  220 , and may drop the PUCCH  210 , including any other UCI  205  that would have been transmitted on the PUCCH  210 , which may cause inefficient communication (e.g., due to retransmission of UCI  205 ). 
     The wireless communications system  200  may support the use of techniques that enable a UE  115  to determine a capability to support a mode of UCI transmission corresponding to transmitting the UCI  205  on a PUCCH  210  and an uplink signal  215  on a PUSCH  220  when the resources of the PUCCH  210  and the resources of the PUSCH  220  are at least partially overlapping in time, which may improve reliability (e.g., coverage) at the UE  115 . In some cases, UE  115 - a  may be capable of performing one or more modes of UCI transmission. For example, in a UCI transmission mode, UE  115 - a  may transmit UCI  205  on a PUCCH  210  with resources (e.g., time-frequency resources) that overlap with a PUSCH  220  and may also transmit the overlapped PUSCH  220 . In another UCI transmission mode, UE  115 - a  may multiplex the UCI  205  in the PUSCH  220  and, in some cases, may drop the PUCCH  210 . 
     In some cases, UE  115 - a  may transmit an indication of the capability  225  to base station  105 - a  via communication link  125 - a . For example, UE  115 - a  may transmit the capability  225  as a parameter (e.g., sim-PUCCH-PUSCH-UL) in a UE capability report. The parameter may be included as a bit in the UE capability report or may be reported with another UE capability. In some examples, base station  105 - a  may transmit a configuration  230  indicating to UE  115 - a  to use a UCI transmission mode via communication link  125 - a . For example, UE  115 - a  may transmit the UCI  205  on PUCCH  210  and uplink signal  215  on PUSCH  220  based on the configuration  230  of the UCI transmission mode from base station  105 - a . In some cases, base station  105 - a  may transmit the configuration  230  to UE  115 - a  via RRC signaling. Additionally or alternatively, base station  105 - a  may transmit the configuration  230  to UE  115 - a  via a MAC-control element (MAC-CE) or DCI. Base station  105 - a  may include a parameter in the RRC signaling (e.g., sim-PUCCH-PUSCH) and may enable a transmission mode at UE  115 - a  based on adjusting the parameter. That is, if the configuration is set to enabled, UE  115 - a  may transmit the UCI  205  on the PUCCH  210  and the uplink signal  215  on the PUSCH  220  concurrently when the PUCCH  210  and the PUSCH  220  are overlapping at least partially in time. However, if the configuration is disabled, or the RRC parameter is not configured by base station  105 - a , UE  115 - a  may multiplex the UCI  205  in the PUSCH  220  and, in some cases, may drop the PUCCH  210 . In some examples, UE  115 - a  may receive an RRC configuration from base station  105 - a  if a serving cell of the PUCCH  210  is not configured with a TCI state (e.g., the PUCCH  210  may lack a beam configuration). 
     In some cases, the PUCCH  210  and the PUSCH  220  may be associated with the same serving cell, which is described in further detail with respect to  FIG.  3   . In some other cases, the PUCCH  210  and the PUSCH  220  may be associated with different serving cells, which is described in further detail with respect to  FIG.  4   . In some cases, the serving cell of the PUCCH  210  may be associated with Frequency Range 1 (FR1) and the serving cell of the PUSCH  220  may be associated with Frequency Range 2 (FR2). In some examples, transmissions on FR1 may have improved coverage and reliability when compared with transmissions on FR2 (e.g., because FR1 may have better coverage and may be more robust than FR2). For example, transmitting the UCI  205  on the PUCCH  210  instead of transmitting the UCI  205  on the PUSCH  220  may improve signaling reliability at UE  115 - a . Additionally or alternatively, when a periodic CSI report or a semi-periodic CSI report on the PUCCH  210  is triggered for a serving cell (e.g., a serving cell associated with the PUCCH  210 ) and an aperiodic CSI report on the PUSCH  220  is triggered for another serving cell (e.g., a serving cell associated with the PUSCH  220 ), transmitting the UCI  205  on the PUCCH  210  instead of transmitting the UCI  205  on the PUSCH  220  may avoid dropping the CSI report on the PUCCH  210 . Thus, transmitting the UCI  205  on the PUCCH  210  may improve signaling overhead (e.g., due to fewer retransmissions of CSI reports). 
       FIG.  3    illustrates an example of a processing timeline  300  that supports UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, processing timeline  300  may implement aspects of wireless communication system  100 , wireless communications system  200 , or both and may include PUCCH  210 - a , PUSCH  220 - a , and PUSCH  220 - b , which may be examples of a PUCCH  210  and PUSCHs  220  as described with reference to  FIG.  2   . The process illustrated by processing timeline  300  may be implemented at a UE  115  or a base station  105  as described with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   . For example, the processing timeline  300  may illustrate a method in which a UE  115  may transmit one or more uplink transmissions during a PUCCH  210 , a PUSCH  220 , or both. In some cases, processing timeline  300  may be associated with a single serving cell  305 - a  (e.g., a single component carrier). 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may receive one or more messages including DCI  310  from a base station  105  via one or more component carriers, or serving cells, as described with reference to  FIG.  2   . For example, the UE  115  may receive DCI  310 - a  through DCI  310 - d , which may be associated with cell  305 - a . In some examples, DCI  310 - a  and DCI  310 - c  may be associated with a transmission on a downlink shared channel (e.g., PDSCH  315 - a  and PDSCH  315 - b  respectively). The UE  115  may transmit a feedback message, such as an ACK or a negative acknowledgement (NACK), to the base station  105  in response to receiving the PDSCH  315 . The UE  115  may transmit the feedback message as a portion of UCI  205 , which may be an example of UCI  205  as described with reference to  FIG.  2   , in an uplink control channel (e.g., PUCCH  210 - a ). In some cases, the UE  115  may also transmit a CSI report, a scheduling request, or both as a portion of the UCI  205  in PUCCH  210 - a . In some cases, DCI  310 - b  and DCI  310 - d  may be associated with an uplink signal (e.g., control information or data) to be transmitted in PUSCH  220 - a  and PUSCH  220 - b  respectively. The UE  115  may wait for a processing time after receiving PDSCH  315 - a  and DCI  310 - b . However, in some cases, resources associated with PUCCH  210 - a  and PUSCH  220 - a  may overlap. For example, PUCCH  210 - a  and PUSCH  220 - a  may overlap in time, which may cause the UE  115  to fail to meet timing conditions associated with uplink transmission. 
     In some cases, the UE  115  may multiplex the UCI  205 , such as feedback information and CSI reports, on PUSCH  220 - b  based on determining a PUCCH  210  and PUSCH  220 - b  overlap in time. In some cases, the UE  115  may drop a scheduling request associated with the UCI  205  based on the overlapping PUSCH  220 - b . In some examples, the UE  115  may multiplex CSI reports from the UCI  205  associated with a PUCCH  210  on PUSCH  220 - b  if PUSCH  220 - b  has no aperiodic CSI report or semi-persistent CSI report. Otherwise, if PUSCH  220 - b  has an aperiodic CSI report or a semi-persistent CSI report, the UE  115  may drop one or more CSI reports from the UCI  205  associated with the PUCCH  210  and may multiplex feedback information from the UCI  205  associated with the PUCCH  210  on PUSCH  220 - b . A UE may not expect to multiplex the UCI  205  in a PUSCH transmission in one slot with subcarrier spacing configuration of the same type that the UE  115  would transmit in PUCCHs in different slots with a different subcarrier spacing. In some cases, the UE  115  may transmit a PUCCH  210  and a PUSCH  220  if the resources do not overlap on the same cell  305 , which may improve latency associated with processing times, as described in further detail with respect to  FIG.  4   . 
       FIG.  4    illustrates an example of a processing timeline  400  that supports a UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, processing timeline  400  may implement aspects of wireless communication system  100 , wireless communications system  200 , or both as well as processing timeline  300 . Processing timeline  400  may include PUCCH  210 - b , PUCCH  210 - c , PUSCH  220 - c , PUSCH  220 - d , which may be examples of PUCCHs  210  and PUSCHs  220  as described with reference to  FIG.  2   . The process illustrated by processing timeline  400  may be implemented at a UE  115  or a base station  105  as described with reference to  FIGS.  1  and  2   . For example, the processing timeline  400  may illustrate a method in which a UE  115  may transmit one or more uplink transmissions during a PUCCH  210 , a PUSCH  220 , or both. In some cases, processing timeline  300  may be associated with multiple serving cells (e.g., serving cell  405 - a  and serving cell  405 - b ). 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may receive one or more messages including DCI  410  from a base station  105  via one or more component carriers, or serving cells, as described with reference to  FIGS.  2  and  3   . For example, the UE  115  may receive DCI  410 - a  through DCI  410 - d  from the base station  105 . In some cases, DCI  410 - a  and DCI  410 - c  may be associated with cell  405 - a  and DCI  410 - b  and DCI  410 - d  may be associated with cell  405 - b . In some examples, DCI  410 - a  and DCI  410 - c  may be associated with a transmission on a downlink shared channel (e.g., PDSCH  415 - a  and PDSCH  415 - b  respectively). The UE  115  may transmit a feedback message, such as an ACK or a NACK, to the base station  105  in response to receiving the PDSCH  415 . The UE  115  may transmit the feedback message as a portion of UCI  205 , which may be an example of UCI  205  as described with reference to  FIG.  2   , in an uplink control channel (e.g., a PUCCH  210 ). In some cases, the UE  115  may also transmit a CSI report, a scheduling request, or both as a portion of the UCI  205  in the PUCCH  210 . In some cases, DCI  410 - b  and DCI  410 - d  may be associated with an uplink signal (e.g., control information or data) to be transmitted in PUSCH  220 - c  and PUSCH  220 - d  respectively. 
     The UE  115  may wait for a processing time after receiving PDSCH  415 - a  and DCI  410 - b . In some cases, the resources associated with PUCCH  210 - b  may overlap in time with the resources associated with PUSCH  220 - c  on another serving cell. For example, the resources associated with PUCCH  210 - b  and PUCCH  210 - c  corresponding to cell  405 - a  may overlap in time with resources associated with PUSCH  220 - c  and PUSCH  220 - d  corresponding to cell  405 - b . In some cases, the UE  115  may transmit UCI (e.g., including feedback information such as a HARQ ACK, one or more CSI reports, a scheduling request, or a combination) on PUCCH  210 - b  or PUCCH  210 - c  and may transmit an uplink signal on PUSCH  220 - c  or PUSCH  220 - d . In some cases, for example if a PUCCH  210  overlaps in time with another PUSCH transmission, the UE  115  may refrain from transmitting the scheduling request. That is, if a transmission on PUSCH  220 - d  overlaps in time with PUCCH  210 - c , the UE  115  may transmit PUSCH  220 - d  and PUCCH  210 - c  concurrently. In some examples, the UE  115  may not transmit a scheduling request on PUCCH  210 - c . In some cases, the UE  115  may transmit an aperiodic CSI report or semi-persistent CSI report on PUCCH  210 - c  regardless of whether PUSCH  220 - d  has an aperiodic CSI report or semi-persistent CSI report. 
       FIG.  5    illustrates an example of a process flow  500  that supports UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, process flow  500  may implement aspects of wireless communications systems  100  and  200 . The process flow  500  may illustrate an example of a UE  115 , such as UE  115 - b , determining a capability to perform a mode of UCI transmission and transmitting an uplink transmission to a base station  105 , such as base station  105 - b , based on the capability. Alternative examples of the following may be implemented, where some processes are performed in a different order than described or are not performed. In some cases, processes may include additional features not mentioned below, or further processes may be added. 
     At  505 , UE  115 - b  may determine a capability of the UE  115 - b  to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission. In some cases, the first mode may correspond to transmitting UCI on an uplink control channel (e.g., a PUCCH) and transmitting an uplink signal on an uplink shared channel (e.g., a PUSCH) concurrently such that the PUCCH overlaps at least partially in time with the PUSCH. In some examples, the second mode may correspond to transmitting UCI from a PUCCH and an uplink signal on a PUSCH when the PUCCH overlaps at least partially in time with the PUSCH. In some cases, the UCI may include a feedback information (e.g., a HARQ ACK), a CSI report (e.g., a periodic CSI report, an aperiodic CSI report, or a semi-persistent CSI report), a scheduling request, or a combination. 
     At  510 , UE  115 - b  may determine the PUCCH and the PUSCH are configured on a same serving cell. In some cases, UE  115 - b  may determine the capability at  505  based on the PUCCH and the PUSCH on the same serving cell. In some cases, UE  115 - b  may determine the PUCCH and the PUSCH overlap at least partially during a time period, where the PUCCH and the PUSCH are on the same serving cell. In some examples, UE  115 - b  may drop a scheduling request based on the PUCCH overlapping with the PUSCH during the time period. Additionally or alternatively, UE  115 - b  may determine an absence of a type of CSI reporting on the PUSCH during the time period (e.g., an aperiodic CSI report or a semi-persistent CSI report). UE  115 - b  may multiplex a CSI report (e.g., another type of CSI report, such as a periodic CSI report) based on the absence. 
     At  515 , UE  115 - b  may determine the PUCCH and the PUSCH are configured on different serving cells (e.g., a first serving cell and a second serving cell different than the first). In some cases, UE  115 - b  may determine the capability at  505  based on the PUCCH and PUSCH on different serving cells. In some cases, UE  115 - b  may determine the PUCCH does not overlap in time with the PUSCH during a time period. UE  115 - b  may transmit a scheduling request based on the PUCCH not overlapping with the PUSCH during the time period. 
     At  520 , UE  115 - b  may transmit an indication of the determined capability to base station  105 - b . At  525 , base station  105 - b  may determine the capability of the UE  115 - b  to perform at least the first mode of UCI transmission and the second mode of UCI transmission. 
     At  530 , base station  105 - b  may transmit a configuration to UE  115 - b , the configuration indicating that UE  115 - b  is to use the first mode of UCI transmission. In some cases, UE  115 - b  may receive the configuration based on the PUCCH lacking a beam configuration (i.e., a TCI state). For example, the serving cell with PUCCH may be configured on FR1. In some cases, base station  105 - b  may transmit the configuration via RRC signaling, a MAC-CE, or DCI. 
     At  535 , UE  115 - b  may transmit the UCI on the PUCCH and an uplink signal on the PUSCH based on receiving the configuration. In some examples, the uplink signal may include control information, data or both. 
       FIG.  6    shows a block diagram  600  of a device  605  that supports a UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The device  605  may be an example of aspects of a UE  115  as described herein. The device  605  may include a receiver  610 , a communications manager  615 , and a transmitter  620 . The device  605  may also include one or more processors, memory coupled with the one or more processors, and instructions stored in the memory that are executable by the one or more processors to enable the one or more processors to perform the UCI multiplexing rule uplink transmission features discussed herein. Each of these components may be in communication with one another (e.g., via one or more buses). 
     The receiver  610  may receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission, etc.). Information may be passed on to other components of the device  605 . The receiver  610  may be an example of aspects of the transceiver  920  described with reference to  FIG.  9   . The receiver  610  may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas. 
     The communications manager  615  may determine a capability of the UE to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission, the first mode corresponding to transmission of UCI on an uplink control channel that overlaps in time at least in part with an uplink shared channel, and the second mode corresponding to transmission of the UCI multiplexed on the uplink shared channel, receive, from a base station, a configuration indicating that the UE is to use the first mode of UCI transmission, and transmit, based on the received configuration, the UCI on the uplink control channel and an uplink signal on the uplink shared channel. The communications manager  615  may be an example of aspects of the communications manager  910  described herein. 
     The actions performed by the communications manager  615  as described herein may be implemented to realize one or more potential advantages. One implementation may enable a UE to determine a capability for transmitting UCI on a PUCCH and an uplink signal on a PUSCH. The UE may transmit the UCI on the PUCCH, which may result in improved signaling reliability (e.g., better coverage) at the UE, among other advantages. 
     Based on implementing the UCI transmission capability as described herein, a processor of a UE or base station (e.g., a processor controlling the receiver  610 , the communications manager  615 , the transmitter  620 , or a combination thereof) may reduce the impact or likelihood of unnecessary monitoring while ensuring relatively efficient communications. For example, the capability based UCI transmission as described herein may leverage a PUCCH and a PUSCH that overlap at least partially in time to transmit a UCI and an uplink signal respectively, which may realize reduced signaling overhead (e.g., due to less dropping of CSI reports), among other benefits. 
     The communications manager  615 , or its sub-components, may be implemented in hardware, code (e.g., software or firmware) executed by a processor, or any combination thereof. If implemented in code executed by a processor, the functions of the communications manager  615 , or its sub-components may be executed by a general-purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described in the present disclosure. 
     The communications manager  615 , or its sub-components, may be physically located at various positions, including being distributed such that portions of functions are implemented at different physical locations by one or more physical components. In some examples, the communications manager  615 , or its sub-components, may be a separate and distinct component in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the communications manager  615 , or its sub-components, may be combined with one or more other hardware components, including but not limited to an input/output (I/O) component, a transceiver, a network server, another computing device, one or more other components described in the present disclosure, or a combination thereof in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. 
     The transmitter  620  may transmit signals generated by other components of the device  605 . In some examples, the transmitter  620  may be collocated with a receiver  610  in a transceiver module. For example, the transmitter  620  may be an example of aspects of the transceiver  920  described with reference to  FIG.  9   . The transmitter  620  may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas. 
       FIG.  7    shows a block diagram  700  of a device  705  that supports UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The device  705  may be an example of aspects of a device  605 , or a UE  115  as described herein. The device  705  may include a receiver  710 , a communications manager  715 , and a transmitter  735 . The device  705  may also include a processor. Each of these components may be in communication with one another (e.g., via one or more buses). 
     The receiver  710  may receive information such as packets, user data, or control information associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, and information related to UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission, etc.). Information may be passed on to other components of the device  705 . The receiver  710  may be an example of aspects of the transceiver  920  described with reference to  FIG.  9   . The receiver  710  may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas. 
     The communications manager  715  may be an example of aspects of the communications manager  615  as described herein. The communications manager  715  may include a capability component  720 , a configuration component  725 , and an uplink transmission component  730 . The communications manager  715  may be an example of aspects of the communications manager  910  described herein. 
     The capability component  720  may determine a capability of the UE to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission, the first mode corresponding to transmission of UCI on an uplink control channel that overlaps in time at least in part with an uplink shared channel, and the second mode corresponding to transmission of the UCI multiplexed on the uplink shared channel. The configuration component  725  may receive, from a base station, a configuration indicating that the UE is to use the first mode of UCI transmission. The uplink transmission component  730  may transmit, based on the received configuration, the UCI on the uplink control channel and an uplink signal on the uplink shared channel. 
     The transmitter  735  may transmit signals generated by other components of the device  705 . In some examples, the transmitter  735  may be collocated with a receiver  710  in a transceiver module. For example, the transmitter  735  may be an example of aspects of the transceiver  920  described with reference to  FIG.  9   . The transmitter  735  may utilize a single antenna or a set of antennas. 
     In some cases, the capability component  720 , the configuration component  725 , and the uplink transmission component  730 , may each be or be at least a part of a processor (e.g., a transceiver processor, or a radio processor, or a transmitter processor, or a receiver processor). The processor may be coupled with memory and execute instructions stored in the memory that enable the processor to perform or facilitate the features of the capability component  720 , the configuration component  725 , and the uplink transmission component  730  discussed herein. A transceiver processor may be collocated with and/or communicate with (e.g., direct the operations of) a transceiver of the device. A radio processor may be collocated with and/or communicate with (e.g., direct the operations of) a radio (e.g., an NR radio, an LTE radio, a Wi-Fi radio) of the device. A transmitter processor may be collocated with and/or communicate with (e.g., direct the operations of) a transmitter of the device. A receiver processor may be collocated with and/or communicate with (e.g., direct the operations of) a receiver of the device. 
       FIG.  8    shows a block diagram  800  of a communications manager  805  that supports UCI multiplexing rule for simultaneous uplink control channel and uplink shared channel transmission in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The communications manager  805  may be an example of aspects of a communications manager  615 , a communications manager  715 , or a communications manager  910  described herein. The communications manager  805  may include a capability component  810 , a configuration component  815 , an uplink transmission component  820 , a resource component  825 , and a CSI component  830 . Each of these modules may communicate, directly or indirectly, with one another (e.g., via one or more buses). 
     The capability component  810  may determine a capability of the UE to perform at least a first mode of UCI transmission and a second mode of UCI transmission, the first mode corresponding to transmission of UCI on an uplink control channel that overlaps in time at least in part with an uplink shared channel, and the second mode corresponding to transmission of the UCI multiplexed on the uplink shared channel. In some examples, the capability component  810  may transmit, to the base station, an indication of the determined capability. 
     In some examples, the capability component  810  may determine that the uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel are configured on a same serving cell, where the capability of the UE is determined based on the uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel being configured on the same serving cell. In some examples, the capability component  810  may determine that the uplink control channel is configured on a first serving cell and the uplink shared channel is configured on a second serving cell different than the first serving cell, where the capability of the UE is determined based on the uplink control channel being configured on a different serving cell than the uplink shared channel. 
     The configuration component  815  may receive, from a base station, a configuration indicating that the UE is to use the first mode of UCI transmission. In some cases, the configuration component  815  may receive the configuration based on the uplink control channel lacking a beam configuration. In some examples, the configuration component  815  may receive the configuration via RRC signaling. The uplink transmission component  820  may transmit, based on the received configuration, the UCI on the uplink control channel and an uplink signal on the uplink shared channel. 
     The resource component  825  may determine that the uplink control channel overlaps in time at least in part with the uplink shared channel during a time period, where the uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel are configured on the same serving cell. In some examples, the resource component  825  may drop a scheduling request based on the uplink control channel overlapping with the uplink shared channel during the time period. 
     The CSI component  830  may determine an absence of a second type of CSI reporting during the time period. In some examples, the CSI component  830  may multiplex a first type of CSI reporting based on the absence of the second type of CSI reporting.

     The functions described herein may be implemented in hardware, software executed by a processor, firmware, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software executed by a processor, the functions may be stored on or transmitted over as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Other examples and implementations are within the scope of the disclosure and appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, functions described herein may be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hardwiring, or combinations of any of these. Features implementing functions may also be physically located at various positions, including being distributed such that portions of functions are implemented at different physical locations. 
     Computer-readable media includes both non-transitory computer storage media and communication media including any medium that facilitates transfer of a computer program from one place to another. A non-transitory storage medium may be any available medium that may be accessed by a general-purpose or special purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, non-transitory computer-readable media may include RAM, ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), flash memory, compact disk (CD) ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other non-transitory medium that may be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of instructions or data structures and that may be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer, or a general-purpose or special-purpose processor. Also, any connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave, then the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of computer-readable medium. Disk and disc, as used herein, include CD, laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD), floppy disk and Blu-ray disc where disks usually reproduce data magnetically, while discs reproduce data optically with lasers. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable media. 
     As used herein, including in the claims, “or” as used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items prefaced by a phrase such as “at least one of” or “one or more of”) indicates an inclusive list such that, for example, a list of at least one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e., A and B and C). Also, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step that is described as “based on condition A” may be based on both a condition A and a condition B without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall be construed in the same manner as the phrase “based at least in part on.” 
     In the appended figures, similar components or features may have the same reference label. Further, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference label by a dash and a second label that distinguishes among the similar components. If just the first reference label is used in the specification, the description is applicable to any one of the similar components having the same first reference label irrespective of the second reference label, or other subsequent reference label. 
     The description set forth herein, in connection with the appended drawings, describes example configurations and does not represent all the examples that may be implemented or that are within the scope of the claims. The term “example” used herein means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration,” and not “preferred” or “advantageous over other examples.” The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing an understanding of the described techniques. These techniques, however, may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the described examples. 
     The description herein is provided to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make or use the disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosure will be apparent to a person having ordinary skill in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Thus, the disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein, but is to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
