1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to cause a base station (BS) to:
transmit a first downlink control information (DCI) message to a first UE scheduling a first plurality of uplink transmissions to the first UE, wherein the uplink transmissions of the first plurality of uplink transmissions are scheduled to be contiguous and non-overlapping in time, the first DCI message including:
bits to carry respective configurations including respective new data indicators and respective redundancy versions for respective uplink transmissions of the first plurality of uplink transmissions; and
an indication of an offset from the first DCI to a first uplink transmissions of the first plurality of uplink transmissions.
