Flexible scheduling for multicast wireless communication

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

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive downlink control associated with a multicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the downlink control comprises different parameters for uplink transmissions to multiple user equipments (UEs) including an uplink transmission parameter for the UE;
• receive the multicast PDSCH;
• and
• transmit the uplink transmission based on the uplink transmission parameter for the UE and the multicast PDSCH.
