Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication at a wireless node comprises one or more memories, and one or more processors, coupled to the memory. The one or more processors can be configured to transmit or receive tri-state feedback indicating a result of decoding one or more communications. The tri-state feedback can be associated with three potential states. The three potential states can indicate whether (i) decoding of a control channel was unsuccessful, (ii) decoding of the control channel was successful and decoding of a data channel was unsuccessful, or (iii) decoding of the control channel and the data channel was successful.
