Abstract: In an example, a User Equipment (UE) operates with shared spectrum channel access on a carrier and/or a cell. The UE receives a configuration for configuring configured grants for uplink transmission in a bandwidth part (BWP). The configured grants include a first configured grant and a second configured grant. The UE configures a first minimum Downlink Feedback Indication (DFI) time delay for the first configured grant according to the configuration. The first minimum DFI time delay is for validation of Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) information in response to one or more first uplink transmissions. The UE configures a second minimum DFI time delay for the second configured grant according to the configuration. The second minimum DFI time delay is for validation of HARQ information in response to one or more second uplink transmissions. The UE does not expect the second minimum DFI time delay to have a different value than the first minimum DFI time delay.

Based on the collected traffic load data, an active link alternation from the first to the second link by the MLD client responsive to receiving the report may be detected. One or more methods for BSS load report management may then be applied to mitigate future active link alternation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine to decode or refrain from decoding a transport block (TB) transmitted from a base station based on a decodability condition. The decodability condition may include whether an effective UE throughput for decoding the TB is greater than a predetermined decoding throughput threshold or not. If the effective UE throughput is greater than the predetermined decoding throughput threshold, the UE may refrain from decoding the TB. In some cases, the TB may be a subsequent transmission from the base station based on an initial transmission not being correctly decoded, and the UE may refrain from decoding the subsequent transmission.
