Patent ID: 8442564

Claim:
A method in a multimode wireless communication terminal that communicates using a first radio access technology (“RAT”) and that communicates using a second RAT, the method comprising: determining whether the first RAT and the second RAT are in an active state; when the wireless communication terminal is transmitting on the first RAT and the second RAT concurrently, transmitting uplink control information (“UCI”) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (“PUSCH”) on the first RAT if there is a scheduled PUSCH transmission, wherein the UCI would otherwise be transmitted on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (“PUCCH”) when the wireless communication terminal is not transmitting using the second RAT while transmitting on the first RAT and there is a scheduled PUSCH on the first RAT; transmitting UCI on the PUSCH only when an allocation for the PUSCH for the UCI transmission does not overlap desense resource blocks on the first RAT.
