Claim 28:
29. A method of wireless communication by a radio access network (RAN) entity, comprising:
transmitting a plurality of downlink transmissions to a user equipment (UE);
transmitting, to the UE, a data set size of an acknowledgement data;
receiving, from the UE on a number of resource blocks based on at least the data set size, either (a) at least one status bit set to a first value without receiving the plurality of acknowledgement data, or (b) the at least one status bit set to a second value and at least a portion of the plurality of acknowledgement data;
wherein the at least one status bit set to the first value indicates that all of the plurality of downlink transmissions have been successfully decoded, and
the at least one status bit set to the second value indicates that at least one downlink transmission in the plurality of downlink transmissions was not successfully decoded; and
selectively retransmitting one or more of the plurality of downlink transmissions based on the at least one status bit,
wherein the at least one status bit is determined based on a plurality of acknowledgement data respectively for the plurality of downlink transmissions, each of the plurality of acknowledgement data including respective hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback indicating whether a respective downlink transmission of the plurality of downlink transmissions has been successfully decoded.
