Abstract

A wireless device may send uplink transmissions to a base station. The wireless device may use multiple spatial domain transmission filters for sending repetitions of data and/or control information in the uplink transmissions. The spatial domain transmission filters may be determined based on an indication from the base station and/or one or more spatial domain transmission filter(s) used for receiving control information from the base station.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more first repetition occasions and the one or more second repetition occasions comprises a same radio resource allocation for the transport block.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first repetition occasions and the one or more second repetition occasions are time division multiplexed.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the transmitting the transport block based on the first uplink spatial domain transmission filter comprises transmitting the transport block via a first uplink beam; and
