Indication scheme for rateless codes transmissions without feedback information

A method for wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

• receiving a capability message indicating support for transmitting or monitoring for data transmissions associated with a rateless coding scheme in which hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information is disabled;
• transmitting a downlink control information comprising a grant scheduling a data transmission, with a user equipment (UE), utilizing the rateless coding scheme, wherein the downlink control information is based at least in part on the capability message, and wherein the hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information for the data transmission is disabled based at least in part on the data transmission utilizing the rateless coding scheme and based at least in part on one or more of:
• the downlink control information, a resource associated with the downlink control information, or a semi-persistent scheduling configuration associated with the data transmission;
• and
• transmitting or monitoring for the data transmission according to the downlink control information and the rateless coding scheme, wherein the network node refrains from monitoring for or transmitting the hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information for the data transmission in accordance with the hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information being disabled.

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

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a capability message indicating support for transmitting or monitoring for data transmissions associated with a rateless coding scheme in which hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information is disabled;
• receive a downlink control information comprising a grant scheduling a data transmission for the UE, the data transmission utilizing the rateless coding scheme, wherein the downlink control information is based at least in part on the capability message, and wherein the hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information for the data transmission is disabled based at least in part on the data transmission utilizing the rateless coding scheme and based at least in part on one or more of:
• the downlink control information, a resource associated with the downlink control information, or a semi-persistent scheduling configuration associated with the data transmission;
• and
• transmit or monitor for the data transmission according to the downlink control information and the rateless coding scheme, wherein the UE refrains from monitoring for or transmitting the hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information for the data transmission in accordance with the hybrid automatic repeat/request acknowledgment information being disabled.
