Coverage for time division duplex systems

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver;
• wherein:
• the transceiver is configured to receive a time division duplex (TDD) uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration information;
• the transceiver is configured to receive restriction pattern indication information;
• the processor is configured to determine, based on both the received TDD UL/DL configuration information and the received restriction pattern indication information, one or more time intervals to use for transmitting one or more physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition transmissions;
• the transceiver and the processor are configured to transmit a PUSCH transmission;
• and
• the transceiver and the processor are configured to transmit at least one PUSCH repetition transmission in at least one of the determined one or more time intervals to use for transmitting UL repetitions, wherein the at least one PUSCH repetition transmission is a repetition of the PUSCH transmission.

A base station comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver;
• wherein:
• the transceiver and the processor are configured to transmit a time division duplex (TDD) uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration information;
• the transceiver and the processor are configured to transmit restriction pattern indication information;
• the transceiver is configured to receive a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission;
• and
• the transceiver is configured to receive at least one PUSCH repetition transmission in at least one time interval responsive to both the transmitted TDD UL/DL configuration information and the transmitted restriction pattern indication information, wherein the at least one PUSCH repetition transmission is a repetition of the PUSCH transmission.
