A method by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes receiving, from a base station, a random access response (RAR), wherein the RAR contains a RAR uplink (UL) grant scheduling a PUSCH transmission; and determining, for the PUSCH transmission, a frequency hopping mode from two frequency hopping modes, intra-slot frequency hopping and inter-slot frequency hopping, wherein in a first case that the PUSCH transmission is scheduled with repetitions across multi-slots, the inter-slot frequency hopping is determined for the PUSCH transmission, in a second case that the PUSCH transmission is scheduled without repetition, the intra-slot frequency hopping is determined for the PUSCH transmission.
