1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
performing one or more actions to provide a same mother polar code length for generating coded bits for each of a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) repetition and a second PUCCH repetition, wherein the first PUCCH repetition includes a first plurality of resource elements (REs) used for uplink control information (UCI) transmission and the second PUCCH repetition includes a second plurality of REs used for the UCI transmission, and wherein the first plurality of REs is different than the second plurality of REs;
performing polar encoding of information bits of the UCI for the first PUCCH repetition and for the second PUCCH repetition based on the same mother polar code length; and
transmitting the first and second PUCCH repetitions including the respective polar-encoded UCI.
