Indication of control channel repetition factor

A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory communicatively coupled with the at least one processor and storing processor-readable code that, when executed by the at least one processor, is configured to cause the base station to:
• transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and indicating a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) repetition factor, wherein the PUCCH repetition factor is indicated by a combination of a location of a control channel element (CCE) of the PDCCH, a PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) bitfield of the PDCCH, and at least one of:
• one or more parameters of the PDCCH or one or more parameters of the PDSCH, wherein the PUCCH repetition factor indicates a number of times that a PUCCH is to be transmitted;
• and
• receive a plurality of repetitions of the PUCCH based on the PUCCH repetition factor.
