`Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documents filed in a patent application that may
`contribute to identity theft. Personal information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card
`numbers (other than a check or cred it card authorization form PT0-2038 submitted for payment purposes) is never required
`by the USPTO to support a petition or an application . If this type of personal information is included in documents submitted
`to the USPTO , petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before
`submitting them to US PTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is available to the public
`after publication of the application (unless a non-publication request in compliance w ith 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the
`application) or issuance of a patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be ava ilable to the
`public if the application is referenced in a published appli cation or an issued patent (see 37 CFR1 .14 ). Checks and credit
`card authorization forms PT0-2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are
`not publicly available.

`TITLE:
`
`Scalable Feedback Rep011ing
`
`BACKGROUND:
`
`Field:
`
`L0001 J Various communication systems may benefit from the appropriate
`
`communication of acknowledgments. For example, various communication
`
`systems, such as New Radio, may benefit from a scalable feedback reporting
`
`in a scenario with dynamically vruying acknowledgment timing.
`
`Description of the Related Art:
`
`(0002] Third generation pattnership project (3GPP) New Radio (NR) physical
`
`layer design has a related 3GPP study item (RP-160671) for which an
`
`objective to identify and develop technology components needed for NR
`
`systems being able to use any spectrum band ranging at least up to l 00 GHz.
`
`The goal is to achieve a single technical framework addressing all usage
`
`scenarios, requirements and deployment scenarios defmed in 3GPP TR
`
`38.913.
