Abstract
A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for joint encoding of downlink control information (DCI) fields to support hybrid automatic request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) delays for more than 10 HARQ processes (e.g., 14 HARQ processes) at a user equipment. In an example implementation, the method may include a user equipment (UE) determining a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes configured at the UE and determining a HARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) delay value based at least on the number of HARQ processes configured at the UE and downlink control information (DCI) received from a network node.

A method of communications, comprising:
- determining, by a user equipment (UE), a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes configured at the UE;
- and
- determining, by the UE, a HARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) delay value based at least on the number of HARQ processes configured at the UE and downlink control information (DCI) received from a network node.
