Uplink channel repetitions that cross slot boundaries

An apparatus for wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:

• a memory having executable instructions stored thereon;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the executable instructions to cause to apparatus to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), phase coherence configuration information indicating that the UE is to maintain phase coherence for repetitions of uplink channel transmissions that cross slot boundaries;
• transmit, to the UE, scheduling information scheduling a plurality of repetitions of an uplink channel transmission;
• and
• receive the plurality of repetitions of the uplink channel transmission based on the scheduling information and the phase coherence configuration information.

A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a network entity, phase coherence configuration information indicating that the UE is to maintain phase coherence for repetitions of uplink channel transmissions that cross slot boundaries;
• receiving scheduling information scheduling a plurality of repetitions of an uplink channel transmission;
• and
• transmitting the plurality of repetitions of the uplink channel transmission based on the scheduling information indicating that the scheduled plurality of repetitions of the uplink channel transmission will cross one or more slot boundaries and the phase coherence configuration information.
