Claim 23:
24. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
means for transmitting repetitions of an uplink communication to a network entity;
means for monitoring a physical downlink control channel to receive, a time period after transmitting a first repetition of the repetitions, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback or an uplink grant for a new transmission, wherein the time period corresponds to a propagation delay to the network entity via a non-terrestrial network (NTN) entity; and
means for starting, without using a HARQ round trip timer, a discontinuous reception (DRX) retransmission timer after transmitting a last repetition of the repetitions, the HARQ feedback or the uplink grant being received during the DRX retransmission timer.
