System and method for transmission repetition mode indicators

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• perform an uplink channel transmission for a number of times via a transmitter, according to a number of transmission beams of the wireless communication device, for at least one resource, wherein the number of times of the uplink channel transmission to be performed is received by the wireless communication device from a wireless communication node,
• wherein (a) the transmission beams of the number of transmission beams are applied in cyclic order on the times of the uplink channel transmission to be performed, or (b) a respective one of the transmission beams is applied to each of a plurality of groups, wherein a number of groups in the plurality of groups is equal to a number of the transmission beams.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a wireless communication node from a wireless communication device, an uplink channel transmission for a number of times, according to a number of transmission beams of the wireless communication device, for at least one resource, wherein the number of times of the uplink channel transmission to be performed is received by the wireless communication device from a wireless communication node,
• wherein (a) the transmission beams of the number of transmission beams are applied in cyclic order on the times of the uplink channel transmission to be performed, or (b) a respective one of the transmission beams is applied to each of a plurality of groups, wherein a number of groups in the plurality of groups is equal to a number of the transmission beams.
