INDICATION OF UPLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for physical uplink control channel configuration and coverage enhancement in a wireless communication network. A base station can dynamically indicate a repetition factor for an uplink control channel to improve coverage of the uplink control channel. The base station can explicitly or implicitly indicate the repetition factor using various signaling techniques. The interpretation of an indication of a repetition factor can depend on one or more parameters, for example, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format, an uplink control information size, a code rate, and/or a PUCCH resource set used for the PUCCH.
