Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may transmit wireless device-specific downlink control information comprising HARQ feedback to a wireless device. Coordinating a plurality of HARQ feedbacks may result in complicated processing at the base station and/or a delay to schedule a HARQ feedback for the wireless device. The transmission of the downlink control information may not require HARQ feedback from a wireless device. By reducing the transmission of HARQ feedback, the channel capacity utilized for error correction transmissions can be reduced, thereby enhancing resource utilization.
