Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may transmit a multi-cell scheduling downlink control information (DCI) associated with at least two component carriers (CCs) for multi-cell communication with a user equipment (UE), the multi-cell scheduling DCI including a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identification field that is based at least in part on a merged HARQ process space associated with the at least two CCs. The network node may receive HARQ feedback associated with the multi-cell communication, the HARQ feedback being based at least in part on the merged HARQ process space. Numerous other aspects are described.
