Abstract
A method and apparatus (A) are provided for multiplexing data and uplink control bitstreams on a 5G-NR uplink by generating a multiplexing configuration structure with one or more processors () and supplying the data and uplink control bitstreams to a multiplexing engine () which includes an index calculation logic circuit () and multiplex selector circuit (), where the index calculation logic circuit is configured with the multiplexing configuration structure (CONFIG) to execute an iterative data-control multiplexing algorithm which generates ordered selection indices in sequential order (MUX_SEL), and where the multiplex selector circuit receives and selects m-bit sequences from the data bitstream and one or more uplink control bitstreams for output into a multiplexed output stream according to the ordered selection indices generated by the index calculation unit, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
