1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
determine a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) message, using a resource selection procedure from a plurality of resource selection procedures to identify a resource allocation of the PUCCH resource,
wherein the plurality of resource selection procedures comprises a first resource selection procedure used before a radio resource control setup is received and a second resource selection procedure,
wherein the resource selection procedure is the first resource selection procedure or the second resource selection procedure,
wherein the first resource selection procedure includes selecting a value, from a table and based on a remaining minimum system information (RMSI) value, that corresponds to a resource set that includes the PUCCH resource, wherein a resource block offset corresponds to the RMSI value, and
wherein the second resource selection procedure comprises using an implicit resource mapping procedure, based at least in part on a control channel element (CCE) index of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and explicit signaling comprising a PUCCH indicator; and
transmit the HARQ-ACK message using the PUCCH resource.
