Systems and methods for physical channel repetition for low latency communication

An apparatus for a base station, comprising baseband circuitry having:

• a radio frequency (RF) interface;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• dynamically determine a repetition configuration for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the repetition configuration includes a number of PDSCH repetitions, a cycling sequence of redundancy versions (RVs), and an indication which RV of the cycling sequence of RVs to employ with an initial PDSCH;
• generate repetition level signaling for the determined repetition configuration, wherein the repetition level signaling comprises the initial PDSCH and one or more PDSCH repetitions for transmission to a user equipment (UE) using the RF interface, the cycling sequence of RVs for the initial PDSCH and the one or more PDSCH repetitions, and an RV field that indicates a starting index of the cycling sequence of RVs,
• wherein the one or more processors configure initial resource blocks (RBs) for the initial PDSCH and repetition RBs for the one or more PDSCH repetitions, and wherein the one or more processors configure initial rate matching for the initial RBs and repetition rate matching for the repetition RBs based on UE decoding probability;
• and
• provide the generated repetition level signaling to the RF interface for transmission to the UE.
