1. A method comprising:
receiving:
a first slot offset value k0 by higher layer signaling, and
a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that provides a downlink control information (DCI) format, wherein the DCI format:
schedules a reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that provides a transport block (TB), and
includes a field indicating a second slot offset value k1;
determining a first slot for transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for a correct or incorrect decoding outcome of the TB, wherein the first slot is k0+k1 slots after a slot of the PDSCH reception; and
transmitting the PUCCH in the first slot.
