Precoding patterns for shared channel transmission repetition

A device configured to transmit data in a wireless communication network, comprising:

• a memory comprising executable instructions;
• and
• a processor in data communication with the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions to cause the device to:
• determine a number of repetitions to transmit data in the wireless communication network;
• determine a precoding pattern that specifies a precoder to be applied to each repetition of the number of repetitions, wherein the precoding pattern specifies at least:
• a first precoder associated with a first antenna and a first type of channel;
• and
• a second precoder associated with a second antenna and a second type of channel different from the first type of channel;
• and
• transmit the data according to the number of repetitions and according to the precoding pattern,
• wherein in order to transmit the data according to the precoding pattern, the processor is further configured to cause the device to interleave transmissions of the data on the first type of channel with the first antenna with transmissions of the data on the second type of channel with the second antenna for the number of repetitions.

A device configured to transmit data in a wireless communication network, comprising:

• means for determining a number of repetitions to transmit data in the wireless communication network;
• means for determining a precoding pattern that specifies a precoder to be applied to each repetition of the number of repetitions, wherein the precoding pattern specifies at least;
• a first precoder associated with a first antenna and a first type of channel;
• and
• a second precoder associated with a second antenna and a second type of channel different from the first type of channel;
• and
• means for transmitting the data according to the number of repetitions and according to the precoding pattern,
• wherein transmitting the data according to the precoding pattern comprises interleaving transmissions of the data on the first type of channel with the first antenna with transmissions of the data on the second type of channel with the second antenna for the number of repetitions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device to perform a method of transmitting data from a device in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

• determining a number of repetitions to transmit data in the wireless communication network;
• determining a precoding pattern that specifies a precoder to be applied to each repetition of the number of repetitions, wherein the precoding pattern specifies at least:
• a first precoder associated with a first antenna and a first type of channel;
• and
• a second precoder associated with a second antenna and a second type of channel different from the first type of channel;
• and
• transmitting the data according to the number of repetitions and according to the precoding pattern,
• wherein transmitting the data according to the precoding pattern comprises interleaving transmissions of the data on the first type of channel with the first antenna with transmissions of the data on the second type of channel with the second antenna for the number of repetitions.
