Abstract

Wireless communications systems and methods related to hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) history feedbacks are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives one or more data blocks of a plurality of data blocks, each of the one or more data blocks received in one of a plurality of transmission occasions. The UE transmits an individual feedback for each of the one or more data blocks indicating whether the data block is received successfully. The UE transmits a feedback history report for one or more transmission occasions of the plurality of transmission occasions.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, an indication of the PUCCH resource.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the feedback report comprises transmitting the feedback report via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, an indication of the PUSCH resource.

19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the BS, the individual feedback for at least one of the one or more data blocks.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the transmitting the individual feedback for at least one of the one or more data blocks comprises transmitting the individual feedback for multiple data blocks of the one or more data blocks.

21. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), one or more data blocks, wherein the one or more data blocks are associated with a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes; and

receiving, from the UE, a feedback report for the plurality of HARQ processes, wherein the feedback report is based on an individual feedback for each of the one or more data blocks associated with the plurality of HARQ processes.

22. The method of claim 21 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a request for the feedback report.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the transmitting the request for the feedback report comprises transmitting the request for the feedback report via a downlink control information (DCI) message.

24. The method of claim 21 , wherein the feedback report includes a most recent HARQ acknowledgment/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information for each of the one or more data blocks.

25. The method of claim 24 , wherein:

the feedback report includes a most recent HARQ ACK/NACK information for each of the plurality of HARQ processes.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the plurality of HARQ processes comprises all HARQ processes on one or multiple serving cells.

27. The method of claim 21 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, an indication of a first codebook associated with the feedback report.

28. The method of claim 27 , further comprising:
