1. A base station comprising:
a processor configured to:
send uplink control information (UCI) configuration information, wherein the UCI configuration information is sent via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and wherein the UCI configuration information comprises a configuration of periodic physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions associated with periodic UCI reporting;
send a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission, wherein the first PDCCH transmission comprises a first downlink control information (DCI), wherein the first DCI indicates activation of the periodic UCI reporting associated with the periodic PUSCH transmissions configured via the UCI configuration information, and wherein one or more fields of the first DCI are set according to a first set of values associated with validation of the first PDCCH transmission; and
periodically receive UCI in accordance with the UCI configuration information and the first PDCCH transmission.
