A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) generally includes monitoring a plurality of dummy physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions from at least one base station (BS).

Each reserved bit may be for control resource sets associated with a transmission configuration. The UE monitors PDDCH transmissions using different transmission configurations and uses the reserved bits to transmit ACK feedback for the PDCCH transmissions.
