1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive, from a base station, a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process;
initiate an SPS timer for the HARQ process associated with the SPS PDSCH;
maintain the HARQ process to receive HARQ retransmissions associated with the HARQ process until the SPS timer expires; and
skip receiving a new transmission associated with one or more SPS occasions associated with the HARQ process while the SPS timer is running.
