Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for layer mapping for multiple transmission reception point (TRP) transmission, for example, for code block group (CBG) based hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement feedback in new radio (NR). Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The UE receives one or more transport blocks (TBs) from a plurality of TRPs. Each of the one or more TBs comprises a plurality of CBs. For one or more of the plurality of CBs, all bits of the CB are received from a same TRP. The UE decodes the one or more TBs.
