Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 21:
22. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one processor;
a transceiver communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor and memory are configured to:
receive, via the transceiver, a random access response (RAR) message from a base station as part of a random access procedure;
transmit, via the transceiver, an uplink (UL) communication to the base station as part of the random access procedure, the UL communication comprising a plurality of repetitions of a UL message, each repetition of the plurality of repetitions being configured by applying, to the UL message, a respective redundancy version (RV) of an RV pattern having a plurality of RVs, wherein an initial repetition of the plurality of repetitions is configured by applying a default RV index as a starting RV index; and
receive, via the transceiver, a downlink message from the base station based on the UL message.
