The UE may receive, via the transceiver, a downlink control information (DCI) that indicates at least first transmission parameters for a first type of transport block for the UE and second transmission parameters for a second type of transport block for rate-splitting with a second UE. The UE may receive, via the transceiver, the first type of transport block during a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) occasion based on the first transmission parameters. The UE may receive, via the transceiver, the second type of transport block based on the second transmission parameters and a third type of transport block based on third transmission parameters during a second PDSCH occasion.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for signaling a new data indicator (NDI) and/or redundancy version (RV) for physical uplink/downlink shared channel (PxSCH) transmissions scheduled by a multi-PxSCH downlink control information (DCI) grant. In some cases, these techniques may be used even when a scheduled PxSCH transmission is invalid. In some cases, a number of bits in an NDI field of the DCI corresponds to a number of PxSCHs scheduled by the multi-PxSCH DCI grant. In some cases, a number of bits in an RV field of the DCI corresponds the number of PxSCHs scheduled by the multi-PxSCH DCI grant.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling multiple physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources for a set of uplink data messages.

The described techniques may enable the UE to transmit the set of uplink data messages with improved reliability based on reducing a number of collisions between the set of uplink data messages and other uplink signals transmitted on the reserved or preconfigured uplink resources.
