TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure generally relates to the field of wireless communication, and more specifically to techniques employable in connection with uplink control signaling for New Radio (NR), and demodulation reference signal design for short physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

BACKGROUND

Mobile communication has evolved significantly from early voice systems to today's highly sophisticated integrated communication platform. The next generation wireless communication system, fifth generation (5G), or new radio (NR), will provide access to information and sharing of data anywhere, anytime by various users and applications. NR is expected to be a unified network/system that can meet vastly different and sometimes conflicting performance dimensions and services. These diverse multi-dimensional targets for NR are driven by different services and applications. In general, NR will evolve based on 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced with additional potential new radio access technologies (RATS) to enrich peoples' lives with better, simpler and seamless wireless connectivity solutions. NR will enable everything connected by wireless and deliver fast, rich contents and services.
