METHODS AND APPARATUS TO FACILITATE A MULTIPLE BIT NEW DATA INDICATOR

Abstract:

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating a multiple bit new data indicator are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a first device includes transmitting a first state of a multiple bit new data indicator (NDI) for a first packet. The example multiple bit NDI indicates more than two different states for indicating a new packet. The example method also includes transmitting the first packet. Additionally, the example method includes transmitting a second state of the multiple bit NDI for a second packet, and the second state being different than the first state. Further, the example method includes transmitting the second packet.
