Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive:
first information indicating a configuration for directions of symbols, and
second information indicating whether a repetition of a transmission for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is counted when the repetition is canceled, wherein the PUCCH includes an uplink control information (UCI) payload; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine:
that a first repetition of the PUCCH transmission includes a symbol with a downlink direction based on the first information, and
a counter number of repetitions based on the second information,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to cancel the first repetition of the PUCCH transmission
wherein all repetitions of the PUCCH transmission are over a same number of symbols when the UCI payload is larger than a predetermined number of bits, and
wherein a second repetition of the PUCCH transmission is over a different number of symbols than a third repetition of the PUCCH transmission when the UCI payload is not larger than the predetermined number of bits.
