  • Feedback information for a data block group
    Patent number: 11418288
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for transmitting and/or receiving feedback information for a data block group. One apparatus (102) includes a processor (202) that determines (502) a data block group size of a data block group for received data. Each data block in the data block group is independently decodable. The processor (202) generates (504) feedback information for the data block group of the received data. The feedback information is used for indicating a decoding status corresponding to the data block group. The apparatus (102) also includes a transmitter (210) that transmits (506) the feedback information for the data block group.
