Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide reporting of multiple feedbacks for a same transport block (TB) or a same code block group (CBG) of a signal, such as a physical downlink shared channel.

Some techniques and apparatuses described herein also provide soft feedback (e.g., information other than a binary acknowledgment (ACK) or negative ACK (NACK)) for a transmission, such as information indicating whether a second attempt to decode the transmission is likely to be successful.
