For a description of the baseband physical layer of the 5G NR system, refer to Channel Management Overview.
4.1 Principle
The PUCCH carries uplink control information to support uplink and downlink data transmission. Uplink Control Information (UCI) includes:
■ HARQ ACK or NACK: performs HARQ acknowledgement for the downlink data sent through the PDSCH.
■ Channel State Information (CSI): includes the CQI, PMI, and RI. It is used to notify the gNodeB of downlink channel quality to assist the
The PUCCH supports three long formats (format 1, 3, 4) and two short formats (format 0, 2). You can set the
SRResource.srfmt,CSIReportResource.cSIfmt,ANResource.anFmt parameter on the UME to set the format. For the numbers of bits and required
symbols of these five formats, refer to Table 7. Currently, the number of symbols of format 1 is in the range of 4 to 14. The number of symbols of
format 3 and format 4 can only be 8, 12, or 14.The number of symbols of format 0 and format 2 can only be 1 or 2.
When intra-slot frequency hopping is configured for format1, format3, or format4, the first hop occupies half of the total number of symbols
(round down if the division is not complete), and the second hop occupies the remaining number of symbols.
0 1-2 <= 2
1 4-14 <= 2
2 1-2 >2
3 4-14 >2
4 4-14 >2
For the long format, the number of bits of the UCI to be sent determines the control information carried in format 1, format3 or format 4. For
the control information supported by format 1, format 3 and format 4, refer to Table 8. The PUCCHFormat.simultaneousANandCSI parameter
can be set to send the AN and CSI at the same time. The only difference between the format3 and the format4 is that the format4 supports
code division multiplexing between users. Therefore, the format4 is scheduled preferentially.
For the short format, the number of bits of the UCI to be sent determines the control information carried in format 0 or format 2. For the control
information supported by format 0 or format 4, refer to Table 8. Currently, format0 and format2 only support ANs and SRs, and do not support
CSIs.

For format 1 with fourteen symbols, if different cyclic shifts and orthogonal sequences are allocated to a UE and intra-slot frequency hopping
(PUCCHFormat.intraslotFrequencyHopping) is disabled, an RB supports the coexistence of a maximum of 84 UEs (12 cyclic shifts and seven
orthogonal sequences) . If intra-slot frequency hopping (PUCCHFormat.intraslotFrequencyHopping) is enabled,an RB supports the coexistence
of 36 UEs (12 cyclic shifts and three orthogonal sequences) (diversity gain is added in this case) . To improve the demodulation performance of
the gNodeB, the isolation between UEs is increased during the actual scheduling.
Assume that in the FR1 TDD system, the frequency domain resource in format 1 is an RB,the start RB ID is 0, and the time domain occupies all
the 14 symbols of slot19. Figure 1 shows the time and frequency resources when intra-slot frequency
hopping(PUCCHFormat.intraslotFrequencyHopping) is disabled.
Figure 2 shows the time and frequency resources when intra-slot frequency hopping (PUCCHFormat.intraslotFrequencyHopping) is enabled.
For the number of data symbols of format 1, refer to Table 6.3.2.4.1-1 of 3GPP TS 38.211. For the number of pilot symbols, refer to Table
6.4.1.3.1.1-1 of 3GPP TS 38.211.
For format 3, in theory, 1~16 RBs can be occupied. The number of RBs must be a power product of 2, 3, and 5. Code division is not supported.
Based on the number of bits fed back by the UE, each UE occupies one or two RBs. When multiple UEs coexist, the UEs are distinguished in the
frequency domain. The additional DM-RS configuration affects the pilot location. For details, refer to Table 6.4.1.3.3.2-1 in the 3GPP 38.211
protocol.
Assume that in the FR1 TDD system, NRPhysicalCellDU.resourceExpansion is configured as false, intra-slot frequency hopping
(PUCCHFormat.intraslotFrequencyHopping) is disabled for format 3, and six RBs (RB243 to RB248) in the frequency domain and 14 symbols of
slot19 in the time domain are occupied. 【Figure Resources in Format 3 When intra-slot Frequency Hopping Is Disabled】 shows the time and
frequency resources. You can set the PUCCHFormat.additionalDMRS parameter on the UME to configure whether there are additional DM-RS.

PUCCH Management
Assume that intra-slot frequency hopping (PUCCHFormat.intraslotFrequencyHopping) is enabled for format 3, the first half hop occupies six
RBs (RB243 to RB248) in the frequency domain, the second half hop occupies six RBs (RB24 to RB29) in the frequency domain, and 14 symbols
of slot19 are occupied in the time domain. Figure 4 shows the time and frequency resources. You can set the PUCCHFormat.additionalDMRS
parameter on the UME to configure whether there are additional DM-RS.
For the number and position of pilot symbols in format 3, refer to Table 6.4.1.3.3.2-1 of 3GPP TS 38.211.
When there are multiple UEs at the same time, the format4 can multiplex the same time-frequency resources through code division
multiplexing. The resource occupation in the time domain is the same as that in format3. In the frequency domain, the difference with format3
lies in the number of occupied RB. Format4 always occupies one RB, while format3 can occupy 1~16 RBs.
For FR2 TDD, format0 occupies 1RB in the frequency domain and 1~2 symbols in the time domain. The format 2 can occupy can occupy 1~16
RBs in the frequency domain 1~2 symbols in the time domain. Format0 and format2 occupy one symbol by default. Frequency hopping is
supported when format0 and format2 PUCCH occupy two symbols in the time domain. Currently, format0 and format2 only support intra-slot
frequency hopping, which is controlled by PUCCHResCfg.freqHopping. When format0 and format2 occupy two symbols and the frequency
hopping switch (PUCCHResCfg.freqHopping) is enabled, intra-slot frequency hopping resources will be configured in the format0 and format2
PUCCH resource pools.
For the number of format 2 data symbols, refer to Table 6.3.2.5 A-1 and Table 6.3.2.5 A-2 in the 3GPP 38.211 protocol.
The following figure shows the format0 1RB and format2 2RB resources. The FR1 TDD system is used as an example. It is assumed that the
format 2 frequency domain resource includes two RBs, a start RB is zero, and a start symbol that occupies a slot19 in the PUCCH time domain
is 12.
For the format 0, when PUCCHResCfg.freqHopping is disabled, its time-frequency resources are shown in Figure 5 .

For the format2, when PUCCHResCfg.freqHopping is disabled, its time-frequency resources are shown in Figure 7 .

The eNodeB can switch between the MMSE-IRC receiver and the MMSE-MRC receiver by configuring the PUCCH IRC and MRC functions. By
default, the base station is configured with MRC. When interference exists, you can configure IRC to obtain the performance gain caused by
interference suppression. For details, refer to Receiver Management.
Note:
The feature activation effect depends on the network environment. Therefore, this document only guides the feature provisioning. For network
gains pertinent contents, refer to ZTE for support.
■ In a high-speed UE scenario, if the PUCCHFormat.additionalDMRS parameter is set to increase the density in the DMRS time domain, the
capability can reduce the number of DL retransmissions and increase the downlink system capacity. Higher CSI demodulation
performance can help the gNodeB to obtain the optimal channel information.

2 The parameter AN Format3, Format4 and PUSCH RB share part RBs (PUCCHConfig.extraANResRBRatio). The RBs of Format3 are
divided into two parts: Non-share part and share part. According to the estimated PDSCH scheduling, all RBs of AN Format3 will
be preempted or only the RBs of Format3 will be preempted.
3 On the RB bitmap of the available RBs on the PUSCH, update the RBs of the unused PUCCH Format3 as available.
Note:
The feature activation effect depends on the network environment. Therefore, this document only guides the feature provisioning. For network

The use of idle PUCCH Foramt3 RBs can increase the available RBs of the uplink PUSCH and increase the uplink traffic to improve user
experience.

■ Operation cost reduction and efficiency improvement: The PUCCH capacity adaptation feature provides an effective method for
network operators to optimize network resources, so that the number of users and peak cell traffic can be balanced to improve the
efficiency of spectrum resources.
■ Reduces operation complexity: In scenarios where the number of users changes greatly, the PUCCH capacity adaptation feature can
6.1 Principle
73 - 108
PUCCH Management
The NM switch NRPhysicalCellDU.resourceExpansion determines whether to expand resources. If it is "true", it supports resource
expansion,the initial resources are configured through SRResCfg, CSIRptResCfg and ANResCfg; if it is "false", it does not support resource
expansion; and if the resource expansion reaches the upper limit, it will not expand new resources,the resources are configured through
SRResource, CSIReportResource and ANResource.
PUCCH capacity adaptation includes SR capacity adaptation, CSI capacity adaptation, and AN capacity adaptation. Where:
■ SR capacity adaptation and CSI capacity adaptation,refer to 6.1.1 SR/CSI Adaptation principle.
When the UE accesses the network, allocate available SR/CSI resources in the initial resource pool. When the extension conditions are met, the
corresponding resource expansion will be triggered. After the expansion, the number of resources should be less than the set reduction
minimum value.
When a UE is released, if the available resources reach the scale-in threshold, and no resources are allocated to the RBs to be recycled, the
corresponding RBs are recycled.
SR and CSI resources are expanded independently. The RB positions are arranged in sequence during expansion, and RBs of the forbidden,
shared, and high-interference types are avoided.
The resource period on the extended RB can be set through the PucchAlloc.srPeriod4Expansion and PucchAlloc.csiPeriod4Expansion
parameters.
Figure 47 SR/CSI Resource Expansion in the Non-frequency Hopping Scenario
Note: The number of existing resources can be calculated through the period, number of RBs, number of symbols, and code channel interval.
The usage of AN resources is related to scheduling. The scaling of AN resources is determined by comparing the number of users scheduled on
each RB with the preset conditions.
■ If the percentage of the number of scheduled users of each RB to the specified number of users is larger than the specified condition,

During AN resource expansion, RBs are arranged in order to avoid forbidden, shared, and high-interference RBs.

Note:
The feature activation effect depends on the network environment. Therefore, this document only guides the feature provisioning. For network
gains pertinent contents, refer to ZTE for support.
■ Improves operational cost efficiency. PUCCH capacity adaptation provides an effective measure for network operators to optimize
network resources, and allows network operators to use minimum network resources to meet the requirements of more subscribers.
■ Reduces operation complexity: In scenarios where the number of users varies greatly, capacity adaptation can reduce manual
intervention.
When the number of UEs increases, the cell capacity can be increased by expanding the PUCCH resource pools. However, this reduces PUSCH
resources and thus affects the uplink peak traffic of the cell.
This feature is applicable to the scenarios where the number of users changes frequently within a certain range, such as railway stations,
stadiums, and entrances and exits of subway stations.
