Claim 19:
20. A method for wireless communication at an access network entity, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information for an uplink grant that provides periodic resources for a plurality of uplink grant periods, wherein the configuration information indicates that a set of repetitions of an uplink communication are to be transmitted in a set of slots within one or more uplink grant periods of the plurality of uplink grant periods, and repetitions of the set of repetitions have associated redundancy version values of a sequence of redundancy version values;
transmitting, to the UE, an indication to enable repetition deferral for transmission of one or more of the set of repetitions in non-contiguous slots;
receiving a first set of repetitions of a first uplink communication from the UE in a first uplink grant period of the plurality of uplink grant periods, wherein a first set of slots for the first set of repetitions are within the first uplink grant period, and an associated redundancy version value of each slot of the first set of slots is based at least in part on the sequence of redundancy version values; and
receiving an uplink control information communication in a predetermined slot that is configured for uplink control information, wherein the uplink control information is multiplexed with a repetition of the first set of repetitions when the predetermined slot is in the first set of slots and the uplink control information is not multiplexed with a repetition of the first set of repetitions when the predetermined slot is not in the first set of slots.
