Claim 16:
17. A method for wireless communication at a network device, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) a first resource grant for one or more repetitions of a first uplink communication to be transmitted by the UE, wherein the first resource grant schedules a first set of two or more transport blocks, the first resource grant indicating a first set of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifiers (IDs) associated with the first set of transport blocks, and the first resource grant indicating a respective new data indicator for each HARQ process ID of the first set of HARQ process IDs;
receiving, from the UE, one or more repetitions of the first uplink communication comprising the first set of two or more transport blocks;
selectively canceling one or more remaining repetitions of the first uplink communication based at least in part on successfully decoding at least a first transport block of the first set of two or more transport blocks of the first uplink communication; and
transmitting, to the UE, a second resource grant for a second uplink communication that at least partially overlaps with resources for one or more additional repetitions of the first uplink communication and provides an implicit acknowledgment of successful receipt of the first transport block, wherein the implicit acknowledgment is based at least in part on the second resource grant indicating a second set of HARQ process IDs, wherein each HARQ process ID of the second set of HARQ process IDs either:
is not included in the first set of HARQ process IDs, or
is included in the first set of HARQ process IDs and has a different new data indicator than the respective new data indicator.
