Abstract
A UE is configured to receive an RRC message including first information containing a frequency hopping mode, a periodicity and a number of repetitions, and second information containing a slot offset, a time domain allocation indicating a start symbol and a length, a frequency domain allocation, and a frequency hopping offset. The UE is configured to determine, according to the first and second information, a plurality of PUSCH resources for repetitions of a transport block. A first one of the plurality of PUSCH resources is determined based on the periodicity, the slot offset, the time domain allocation, and the frequency domain allocation. The remaining ones of the plurality of PUSCH resources are to use consecutive slots. The UE is configured to transmit, on the plurality of PUSCH resources, the repetitions of the transport block, where the repetitions start on the first PUSCH resource associated with Redundancy Version 0.
