1. A method performed by a user equipment for control signal transmission, comprising:
selecting a single-segment subframe format as an uplink transmission format for a subframe instead of a multi-segment subframe format, wherein the single-segment subframe format consists of a single transmission segment and the multi-segment subframe format consists of multiple instances of the transmission segment;
selecting a segment from among two or more segments in the subframe for transmission of control signals; and
transmitting one or more control signals on an uplink control channel in the selected segment using the single-segment subframe format.
