MIXED FORMAT TECHNIQUES FOR ORPHANED SYMBOLS IN UPLINK CHANNEL REPETITIONS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station, an indication of a configuration for symbol repetition, the configuration including one or more parameters for transmitting a message on a physical uplink channel. The UE formats, based on a first format of the configuration, a first portion of a set of repetitions of the message scheduled for transmission before a slot boundary, and formats, based on a second format of the configuration, a second portion of the set of repetitions of the message scheduled for transmission after the slot boundary, the second portion being a single symbol. The UE transmits, to the base station, the first portion of the set of repetitions formatted according to the first format and the second portion of the set of repetitions according to the second format.
