Abstract
Aspects are provided for enhancing a physical uplink control channel PUCCH) with frequency hopping for PUCCH repetition prior to dedicated PUCCH resource configuration. For example, the PUCCH may carry a HARQ ACK for Message 4 or Message B. An apparatus such as a user equipment (UE) receives an indication that a cell supports an enhanced physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) frequency hopping pattern for PUCCH with repetition prior to dedicated PUCCH resource configuration. The UE indicates at least one of a capability or a request of the UE for the enhanced PUCCH frequency hopping pattern. The UE receives downlink control signaling that indicates whether the enhanced PUCCH frequency hopping pattern is configured. The UE transmits a PUCCH with repetition and frequency hopping based on whether the enhanced PUCCH frequency hopping pattern is configured.
