REDUCING DOWNLOAD CONTROL INFORMATION FOR RETRANSMISSION SCHEDULING IN MULTI-INCREMENTAL REDUNDANCY SCHEME

Example aspects include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for scheduling transmissions of transport blocks (TBs) at a base station of a wireless communication network, comprising accessing static transmission information indicating configuration information of TB transmissions. The aspects further include transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), first downlink control information (DCI) corresponding to a first transmission. Additionally, the aspects include transmitting, to the UE according to the static transmission information and the first DCI, the first transmission comprising at least a portion of encoded bits of the TB. Additionally, the aspects include receiving, from the UE, an indication of at least one code block that failed to be successfully decoded. Additionally, the aspects include transmitting, to the UE, second DCI corresponding to a second transmission. Additionally, the aspects include retransmitting, to the UE according to the static transmission information, the first DCI, and the second DCI.
