1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
obtaining encoded uplink control information (UCI) bits comprising one or more encoded UCI bits of a first priority and one or more encoded UCI bits of a second priority, wherein the second priority is different than the first priority;
determining a total number of resource blocks (RBs) to transmit the encoded UCI bits, wherein the determination is based on a quantized payload size of the one or more encoded UCI bits of the second priority and a non-quantized payload size of the one or more encoded UCI bits of the first priority;
mapping the one or more encoded UCI bits of the second priority to a first number of resource elements (REs), in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, associated with the quantized payload size;
mapping the one or more encoded UCI bits of the first priority to a second number of REs in the PUCCH resource; and
transmitting the one or more encoded UCI bits of the second priority in the first number of REs in the PUCCH resource and the one or more encoded UCI bits of the first priority in the second number of REs in the PUCCH resource.
