Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatuses for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission with hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in a wireless communication system. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving information for a first set of PUCCH resources for a transmission of a PUCCH on a primary cell and a set of numbers for repetitions of the transmission of the PUCCH and receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) providing a downlink control information (DCI) format that includes a downlink assignment index (DAI) field and a PUCCH resource indicator field. The method further includes determining a PUCCH resource from the first set of PUCCH resources based on the PUCCH resource indicator field; determining the number of repetitions, from the set of numbers of repetitions, based on the DAI field; and transmitting the PUCCH with the number of repetitions using the PUCCH resource on the primary cell.
