This document discloses procedures and apparatus for code block group (CBG)-based non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission for a wireless communication link, such as fifth generation new radio. In aspects, a user equipment (UE) receives a first message including a first configuration for a CBG-based transmission scheme. The UE receives a second message including a second configuration for a NOMA transmission scheme. The UE transmits uplink control information (UCI) to the base station using the NOMA transmission scheme from the second configuration. Further, the UE transmits uplink data associated with the UCI using a CBG-based NOMA transmission scheme based on the first configuration and the second configuration. The UE receives a hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) message including one or more HARQ acknowledgements (ACKs) or negative acknowledgements (NACKs) corresponding to a decoding result of the uplink data.
