Deactivating resources for repetitions of periodic communications

A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration for periodic communications;
• and
• deactivating repetitions in one or more transmission cycles based at least in part on a determination that the network node has received a respective acknowledgement of an initial transmission in each transmission cycle of a threshold number of transmission cycles associated with the periodic communications,
• wherein a number of the threshold number of transmission cycles is greater than one,
• wherein each transmission cycle, of the threshold number of transmission cycles, includes a first time period for the respective initial transmission and a second time period for a respective set of repetitions, and
• wherein the one or more transmission cycles are subsequent to the threshold number of transmission cycles.

A method of wireless communication performed by a wireless communication device, comprising:

• determining that the wireless communication device has successfully received a respective initial transmission or a respective acknowledgement of an initial transmission in each transmission cycle of a threshold number of transmission cycles associated with periodic communications;
• and
• deactivating repetitions in one or more transmission cycles based at least in part on the determination,
• wherein a number of the threshold number of transmission cycles is greater than one,
• wherein each transmission cycle, of the threshold number of transmission cycles, includes a first time period for the respective initial transmission and a second time period for a respective set of repetitions, and
• wherein the one or more transmission cycles are subsequent to the threshold number of transmission cycles.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• determine that the wireless communication device has successfully received a respective initial transmission or a respective acknowledgement of an initial transmission in each transmission cycle of a threshold number of transmission cycles associated with periodic communications;
• and
• deactivate repetitions in one or more transmission cycles based at least in part on the determination,
• wherein a number of the threshold number of transmission cycles is greater than one,
• wherein each transmission cycle, of the threshold number of transmission cycles, includes a first time period for the respective initial transmission and a second time period for a respective set of repetitions, and
• wherein the one or more transmission cycles are subsequent to the threshold number of transmission cycles.
