US 2024/0204923 A1 · REALLOCATION OF PADDED ACKNOWLEDGMENT RESOURCES

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for reallocating padded acknowledgment resources. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to use resources allocated for acknowledgment feedback that may be otherwise associated with padded feedback bits for additional reporting bits. For example, if acknowledgment feedback includes at least one positive acknowledgment (ACK) bit, the UE may replace (for example, reallocate) one or more padded feedback bits with additional reporting bits. If the UE is unable to receive an instance of downlink control information (DCI), or if the UE unsuccessfully receives or decodes each scheduling unit scheduled by an instance of DCI, the UE may maintain padded feedback bits acknowledgment feedback. In various implementations, additional reporting bits may indicate one or more of a power headroom (PH) value, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS), a preferred beam configuration, or a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) value.
