Claim 24:
25. An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a grant type downlink control information (DCI) message, wherein:
the grant type DCI message includes a downlink feedback information (DFI) indicator that indicates a presence of a 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 sctivation/deactivation grant (CG) transmission or the DFI, and
a DCI size of the grant type DCI message that includes the DFI is aligned with an expected grant type DCI size;

obtain an identification of 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
transmit an uplink transmission based at least in part on the DFI.
