Resolving decodability for subsequent transmissions whose throughput exceeds a threshold

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a base station, a data transmission including a transport block (TB);
• and
• decoding the TB based at least in part on a metric being less than a threshold, wherein the metric is based at least in part on a circular buffer size, a number of codeblocks for the TB, and a subcarrier spacing, and wherein the threshold is based at least in part on a code rate associated with limited-buffer rate-matching and a TB size associated with the limited-buffer rate-matching.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for receiving, from a base station, a data transmission including a transport block (TB);
• and
• means for decoding the TB based at least in part on a metric being less than a threshold, wherein the metric is based at least in part on a circular buffer size, a number of codeblocks for the TB, and a subcarrier spacing, and wherein the threshold is based at least in part on a code rate associated with limited-buffer rate-matching and a TB size associated with the limited-buffer rate-matching.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to cause the UE to:

• receive, from a base station, a data transmission including a transport block (TB);
• and
• decode the TB based at least in part on a metric being less than a threshold, wherein the metric is based at least in part on a circular buffer size, a number of codeblocks for the TB, and a subcarrier spacing, and wherein the threshold is based at least in part on a code rate associated with limited-buffer rate-matching and a TB size associated with the limited-buffer rate-matching.
