1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to cause a user equipment (UE) to:
generate a first amount of uplink (UL) control information (UCI) data, comprising a plurality of reports, the plurality of reports including hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback and other UCI data including channel state information (CSI) data;
format the UCI by adjusting an amount of UCI data to be sent to conform to a payload size of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources, wherein the PUCCH resources are selected from a plurality of PUCCH resources, wherein first PUCCH resources of the plurality of PUCCH resources include a first respective number of OFDM symbols associated with a first respective time and frequency that is different from a second respective number of OFDM symbols of second PUCCH resources associated with a second respective time and frequency, wherein adjusting the amount of UCI data to be sent comprises dropping a first report of the plurality of reports but not a second report of the plurality of reports based on respective priorities when a total UCI payload size exceeds payload size supported by a PUCCH format associated with the PUCCH resources; and
transmit, to a base station, the formatted UCI in the PUCCH resources.
