1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including first control information identifying a first index, wherein the first index is mapped to a first offset, from among a plurality of possible offsets, in accordance with a table;
receiving, from the base station, a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), which corresponds to one or more control channel element(s) (CCE(s)),
wherein Downlink Control Information (DCI) is carried in the PDCCH;
determining a second distance, based on a second index of a first CCE of the one or more CCE(s);
determining a first position of a resource block of a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) transmission based on the first offset and the second distance; and
performing the PUCCH transmission at the first position of the resource block,
wherein the PUCCH transmission includes Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ)-Acknowledgement (ACK) information corresponding to the DCI,
wherein the first position is located within an uplink bandwidth part,
wherein the first offset is independent of the second index,
wherein the first offset indicates a first distance between a boundary of the uplink bandwidth part and a second position, and
wherein the second distance is a distance between the second position and the first position.
