Abstract
A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes a processor configured to determine that joint reporting of uplink control information (UCI) with different priorities is configured and a multiplexing timeline is satisfied. The processor is also configured to multiplex more than two bits of a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) and a scheduling request (SR) using a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format 2, PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4. The HARQ-ACK and the SR have different priorities. The UE also includes transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the multiplexed HARQ-ACK and SR on a PUCCH.
