Claim 0:
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
generating, by a network entity, downlink feedback information (DFI) for communications with a user equipment (UE);
preparing, by the network entity, a grant type downlink control information (DCI) message that includes the DFI, wherein the grant type DCI message further includes a DFI indicator to indicate a presence of the DFI within the grant type DCI message, the DFI indicator including a DFI bit added to the grant type DCI message, that is a single DFI bit, and that differentiates the grant type DCI message as one of an activation/deactivation of configured grant (CG) transmission or the DFI;
aligning a DCI size of the grant type DCI message that includes the DFI with an expected grant type DCI size;
identifying, by the network entity, the DFI bit based on a DCI format of the grant type DCI message, wherein the DFI bit is associated with the DCI format containing one of: a fixed allocation of DFI bits to DCI formats or a transmission grant; and
transmitting, by the network entity, the grant type DCI message with the DFI to the UE.
