The example method may determine a plurality of cyclic shifts for each of the first UE and the second UE. The example method may assign one or more sequences to each UE. The example method may receive, at the base station, a multiplexed signal, wherein the multiplexed signal includes at least one bit of uplink control information (UCI) from the first UE and the second UE multiplexed on an uplink short burst transmitted via the OFDM symbol. The method may enable the receipt of UCI from multiple UEs in a multiplexed signal.
