  • Patent number: 11917646
    Abstract: A host operable to provide an over-the-top (OTT) service is disclosed. The host is configured to provide and initiate transmission of user data to a network node for transmission to a user equipment (UE). To transmit the user data, the network node determines a PDSCH-to-HARQ timing for an upcoming downlink transmission of the user data to the UE. The network node also determines that HARQ feedback for the upcoming transmission should be delayed by the UE until further notification from the network node; transmits, to the UE, a first DCI associated with the upcoming transmission, the first DCI including a first PDSCH-to-HARQ timing-indicator value for indicating to the UE that the HARQ feedback for the upcoming transmission should be delayed until further notification from the network node; and transmit the user data from the host to the UE in the upcoming transmission to provide the OTT service.
