1. An apparatus for a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
obtain a radio resource control (RRC) message received from a base station to configure a value set containing a plurality of slot offset values;
obtain a downlink (DL) scheduling command to schedule a DL data transmission from the base station;
obtain the DL data transmission received from the base station;
identify a scheduled slot for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback corresponding to the DL data transmission based on a received slot of the DL data transmission and an applicable slot offset value indicating a number of slots by which the received slot precedes the scheduled slot;
identify the applicable slot offset value from the value set based on an indicator comprised in the DL scheduling command; and
provide the HARQ feedback to be transmitted over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) during the scheduled slot.
