1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining, by a user equipment (UE), that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission of the UE carrying uplink control information (UCI) will collide upon transmission with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission of the UE;
wherein the UE is operative to transmit:
at a given time on any one of a first group of physical channels including a first PUCCH and a first PUSCH on a first beam, and
at the given time on any one of a second group of physical channels including a second PUCCH and a second PUSCH on a second beam; and
wherein, independently for each particular beam of the first beam and the second beam, that a PUCCH transmission carrying UCI on the particular beam will collide upon transmission with a PUSCH transmission on the particular beam is determined; and
multiplexing, by the UE and in response to the determining, the UCI on the PUSCH transmission based on one or more of a beam of the PUCCH transmission and a beam of the PUSCH transmission;
wherein, independently for each particular beam in response to the corresponding determining, the UCI of the PUCCH of the particular beam is multiplexed on the PUSCH transmission for the particular beam.
