1. A user equipment (UE) comprising memory to store information and one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the UE to:
receive first control information that indicates resources for communication of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission and timing information for a blind retransmission of the PDSCH;
receive the PDSCH transmission based on the resources;
receive second control information that indicates resources for communication of a second PDSCH; and
determine whether the second PDSCH corresponds to the blind retransmission of the PDSCH based on the timing information for the blind retransmission indicated by the first control information and, when the second PDSCH is determined to be the blind retransmission, in combine the PDSCH with the blind retransmission in a HARQ buffer for decoding purposes.
