Maximum transport block sizes and span for a transport block in a non-terrestrial network

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

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• transmit, to a non-terrestrial network (NTN) entity, a report of one or more maximum transport block sizes supported by the UE wherein the report includes a first maximum transport block size, of the one or more maximum transport block sizes, for when hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is enabled and a second maximum transport block size, of the one or more maximum transport block sizes, for when HARQ feedback is disabled;
• and
• receive, from the NTN entity and based at least in part on transmitting the report, one or more transport blocks that have a transport block size that does not exceed the first maximum transport block size, when the HARQ feedback is enabled, or the second maximum transport block size when the HARQ feedback is disabled.
