Various aspects provide a subframe for uplink (UL) communication in a frequency-division duplex (FDD) configuration. Control information in the frequency range of the UL communication may include channel quality indicator (CQI) and acknowledgement (ACK) information. The CQI information may be provided prior to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS). The ACK information may be provided subsequent to another DMRS. The CQI information may be time-division multiplexed in a common frequency range as the ACK information. A sounding reference signal (SRS) may be provided as an initial symbol of the subframe. Some CQI information may be provided in two or more separate portions that are each prior to a separate DMRS. Some ACK information may be provided in two or more separate portions that are each subsequent to another separate DMRS.
