Downlink control information for retransmission of semi-persistently scheduled physical downlink shared channels

A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

• transmitting a message indicating that hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) identifier (IDs) will wrap around after reaching a first value;
• transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) that schedules retransmission of at least two semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) that have HARQ IDs;
• and
• transmitting the retransmissions of the at least two PDSCHs.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• a receiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising code executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, via the receiver, a message indicating that hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) identifier (IDs) will wrap around after reaching a first value;
• receive, via the receiver, a downlink control information (DCI) that schedules retransmission of at least two semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) that have HARQ IDs;
• and
• receive, via the receiver, the retransmissions of the at least two PDSCHs.

A computer readable medium storing computer executable code thereon for wireless communications, comprising:

• code for receiving a message indicating that hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) identifier (IDs) will wrap around after reaching a first value;
• code for receiving a downlink control information (DCI) that schedules retransmission of at least two semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) that have HARQ IDs;
• and
• code for receiving the retransmissions of the at least two PDSCHs.
