    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. Wireless devices may exchange data using Medium Access Control (MAC) layer units known as transport blocks which may include a number of code blocks (CBs). A receiving device may attempt to decode each CB and send acknowledgement (ACK) and negative-acknowledgment (NACK) feedback to the transmitting device based on the whether each CB was successfully decoded. The receiving device may determine a format from two or more available formats for transmitting the ACK/NACK feedback. The format for the ACK/NACK feedback may be determined based at least in part on a number of CBs received and a number of CBs that have a NACK feedback. ACK/NACK feedback may be provided on an individual CB basis, or for bundles of CBs. The transmitting device may perform blind decoding of the received feedback to determine the ACK/NACK format and CBs that have NACK feedback.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a satellite access network (SAN) of a satellite communication system to schedule communications with a user terminal. In some aspects, the SAN may provision a communication frame, for the user terminal, into a number of forward-link (FL) subframes and a different number of reverse-link (RL) subframes. The SAN then transmits the FL subframes to the user terminal via a forward link of the satellite communication system, and subsequently receives the RL subframes from the user terminal via a reverse link of the satellite communication system.
