Acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement feedback enhancements

Abstract

A first apparatus may be a first network node or a component thereof, and may receive DCI from a second apparatus or a third apparatus. The second apparatus may be a second network node or a component thereof. The third apparatus may be a third network node or a component thereof. The DCI may include a scheduling grant for a first CC to be communicated over a channel and a HARQ feedback offset index value. The first apparatus may determine, based on the HARQ feedback offset index value, an offset value of a first plurality of offset values associated with a first CC. The first apparatus may transmit a HARQ feedback message in a slot of a second CC. The slot may be based on the determined offset value. The HARQ feedback message may indicate one of an ACK or NACK for data received from the second apparatus.
