Claim 14:
15. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a baseband processing unit; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the baseband processing unit, cause the apparatus to:
receive a bundle of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) repetitions from a network node;
attempt to decode a transmission block within the bundle of PDSCH repetitions; and
generate a soft acknowledgment/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) report based on whether the transmission block was successfully decoded,
wherein when the transmission block is successfully decoded the soft ACK/NACK report comprises an ACK message, and
wherein when the transmission block is not successfully decoded the ACK/NACK report comprises a NACK message comprising multiple bits indicate a number of additional repetitions of the PDSCH needed to successfully decode the transmission block.
