PUCCH Format 0

Short PUCCH Sequence Selection Format

Short 1-2 symbol PUCCH carrying 1-2 bits of UCI via sequence cyclic shift selection without DMRS.

Technical Explanation

PUCCH Format 0 spans 1 or 2 OFDM symbols across 1 PRB. It conveys 1 or 2 bits of HARQ-ACK or positive/negative SR. Information is mapped directly to one of up to 12 cyclic shifts of a base sequence without requiring separate DMRS symbols, maximizing power and spectral efficiency.

Key Functions

  • Low-latency transmission of 1-2 bits of HARQ-ACK feedback
  • Transmits positive or negative Scheduling Request (SR)
  • Uses cyclic shift selection on 1 PRB without DMRS overhead
