The patent application (Publication Number: US20240022354A1) describes a first node device for wireless communication that includes a receiver and transmitter for handling physical uplink control channels (PUCCH). The device utilizes a target coding method to generate the PUCCH using two bit blocks containing hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits. The method involves determining the target coding method from candidate methods based on received information blocks and channel coding the bit blocks accordingly. The priority index of HARQ-ACK bits in each block is used to determine the coding method, resource allocation, and multiplexing within the PUCCH.

Furthermore, the patent application details the use of information blocks to determine the multiplexing of bit blocks, coding methods, and resource allocation within the PUCCH. The device also supports the multiplexing of HARQ-ACK bits with different priority levels and provides a method for determining the target coding method based on the ratio of HARQ-ACK bits in the bit blocks. Additionally, the application includes claims for a second node device with similar functionalities and a method applied to a first node for wireless communication, emphasizing the utilization of HARQ-ACK bits and target coding methods in generating PUCCH. These innovations aim to enhance the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems.
