## Abstract

A base station transmits, to a wireless device via a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH repetition in a slot, a repetition of a downlink control information (DCI) triggering transmission of an uplink signal. The base station receives the uplink signal that is transmitted with a transmission power determined based on a number of symbols: before a starting symbol of the uplink signal and after a last symbol of a second PDCCH monitoring occasion among the PDCCH monitoring occasions of the slot, wherein the second PDCCH monitoring occasion has a latest ending time among ending times of the PDCCH monitoring occasions.
