1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a configuration indication for a common uplink portion of a wireless communication structure,
wherein the configuration indication includes at least a configuration index that indicates a plurality of parameters for configuring the common uplink portion,
wherein the plurality of parameters comprise:
one or more values for a length parameter, of the plurality of parameters, wherein the length parameter identifies a number of symbols to be included in the common uplink portion, and
one or more values for a frequency parameter, of the plurality of parameters, wherein the frequency parameter identifies a set of resource blocks to be used to transmit the common uplink portion, and
wherein the configuration indication for the common uplink portion includes information associated with a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);
configuring, by the UE, the common uplink portion based at least in part on the length parameter, and the frequency parameter; and
transmitting, by the UE, a feedback communication in the common uplink portion, wherein the common uplink portion is configured according to the configuration index.
