The method may include receiving a second message indicating a number of repetitions of a transport block via physical uplink shared channels (PUSCHs) and indicating a beta offset for multiplexing the UCI via a PUSCH of the PUSCHs. The method may include determining a coding rate based on the beta offset and the number of repetitions. The method may include transmitting, based on the coding rate and in response to the PUCCHs overlapping with the PUSCHs in at least one symbol, the UCI and the transport block multiplexed in the PUSCHs. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, by a wireless device, a first message indicating physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs) for repetitions of uplink control information (UCI);
