Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive at least one downlink control information message that schedules multiple sets of repetitions of a physical uplink shared channel transmission with different sets of transmission parameters. The scheduled repetitions of the multiple sets of repetitions may be transmitted consecutively. The UE may transmit one or more of the scheduled repetitions of the multiple sets of repetitions using one or more time gaps between the scheduled repetitions of the multiple sets of repetitions. Numerous other aspects are provided.
