Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one processor; and
and memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a plurality of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) downlink packets from a base station;
accumulate a plurality of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgment or negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) feedbacks associated with each of the plurality of SPS downlink packets in a buffer prior to availability of one or more uplink slots;
determine whether a delay constraint for one or more HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks from the plurality of HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks exceeds a delay parameter value associated the plurality of SPS downlink packets; and
transmit, during a first uplink slot, a consolidated feedback packet to the base station that includes the one or more HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks for which the delay constraint exceeds the delay parameter value, wherein, to transmit the consolidated feedback packet to the base station during the first uplink slot, the at least one processor is configured to:
determine a maximum number of HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks for bundling for a single uplink slot;
determine that a number of HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks for which the delay constraint exceeds the delay parameter value is greater than the maximum number of HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks; and
override the maximum number of HARQ-ACK/NACK feedbacks.
