1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a user equipment of a communication network, information received from a communication network comprising a physical uplink control channel resource set indication and an indication of subcarrier spacing used for a physical uplink control channel;
based on the information, determining at least one of a size or allocation of at least one physical uplink control channel resource associated with the physical uplink control channel resource set; and
transmitting control information associated with the physical uplink control channel to the communication network using at least the determined at least one of size or allocation of the at least one physical uplink control channel resource;
wherein the determining comprises determining a scaling factor for scaling the size of the at least one physical uplink control channel resource associated with the physical uplink control channel resource set in at least one of time and frequency; and
wherein the scaling factor is determined based at least on the indicated subcarrier spacing and a nominal subcarrier spacing.
