Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, based at least in part on a first symbol offset, a starting symbol and an ending symbol for a first repetition of a plurality of repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. The UE may determine, based at least in part on a second symbol offset, a starting symbol and an ending symbol for a second repetition of the plurality of repetitions of the PUSCH transmission. Numerous other aspects are provided.
