Techniques and device for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may establish multiple connections with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs). The wireless device may receive downlink control information (DCI) messages from the multiple transmission points and may generate joint hybrid automatic repeat request feedback (HARQ) based on the received downlink control information messages. To support joint HARQ feedback, counter indices may be jointly assigned to the DCI messages generated by the multiple transmission reception points. The method for jointly assigning the DCI messages may be selected based on a level of interference detected in a communications channel. Also, to support joint HARQ feedback, a total counter index in an uplink DCI message may be configured to indicate a total number of DCI message transmitted from a first TRP and a second TRP during a time period.

Aspects of the present disclose provide various methods and apparatuses for communicating, controlling, and configuring component carrier and bandwidth part (BWP). A scheduling entity receives a capability report from a user equipment (UE). The capability report indicates a capability of the UE to utilize at least one of carrier aggregation (CA) or one or more bandwidth parts. The scheduling entity transmits a command to the UE to reconfigure at least one of a CA configuration or a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration. The scheduling entity determines an anticipated response timing of an acknowledgment (ACK) of the command based on the capability report received from the UE. The scheduling entity receives the ACK according to the anticipated response timing.

A method includes receiving, through RRC signaling from a base station, indicating a dormancy cell group having at least a first serving cell and a second serving cell, receiving a first indicator indicating a dormant behavior to the first serving cell is to be activated when the first serving cell is activated, receiving a second indicator indicating a dormant behavior to the second serving cell is to be deactivated when the second serving cell is activated. The method also includes receiving a cell activation indication to activate the first serving cell and the second serving cell, activating the first serving cell and the second serving cell, applying the dormant behavior to the first serving cell based on the first indicator when the first serving cell is activated, and not applying the dormant behavior to the second serving cell based on the second indicator when the second serving cell is activated.
