1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a network entity, downlink control information (DCI) indicating both a semi-persistent schedule for a plurality of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) occasions within a transmission window and a first quantity of empty PDSCH occasions included in a first group of empty PDSCH occasions, each empty PDSCH occasion of the first group of empty PDSCH occasions being a respective PDSCH occasion of the plurality of PDSCH occasions that lacks data, the plurality of PDSCH occasions also comprising a second group of non-empty PDSCH occasions;
receiving, from the network entity, a plurality of downlink data transmissions within the transmission window based on the semi-persistent schedule, each downlink data transmission of the plurality of downlink data transmissions being received in a respective non-empty PDSCH occasion of the second group of non-empty PDSCH occasions;
transmitting, to the network entity after the transmission window, a feedback message indicating a second quantity of either a first group of negative acknowledgements (NACKs) associated with the first group of empty PDSCH occasions or a second group of NACKs associated with the second group of non-empty PDSCH occasions based on a total quantity of both the first group of NACKs and the second group of NACKs being greater than the first quantity; and
transmitting, to the network entity after the transmission window, each NACK of one or both of the first group of NACKs or the second group of NACKs.
