Physical uplink shared channel repetition handling in frame based equipment mode idle period
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition overlaps with an idle period associated with a fixed frame period for communicating over an unlicensed channel in a frame based equipment mode. The UE may refrain from transmitting over the unlicensed channel during one or more symbols of the PUSCH repetition that coincide with the idle period. Numerous other aspects are provided.
