  • Patent number: 11349606
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for retransmission of code block groups when code block group (CBG) level feedback is unreliable. A user equipment (UE), in a first slot, transmits a first CBG feedback corresponding to a first set of CBGs received from a base station. In a second slot after the first slot, the UE receives downlink control information (DCI) and a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The first CRC is generated based on the DCI and further scrambled by a first concatenation of CBG feedbacks as decoded by the base station. The UE generates a second CRC based on the DCI and further scrambled by a second concatenation of CBG feedbacks including the first CBG feedback. The UE determines that the base station correctly decoded the first CBG feedback based on a comparison of the first CRC and the second CRC.
