Techniques for orthogonal cover coding with transport blocks over multiple slots and resource unit allocation

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

• receiving, from a network entity, control signaling indicating an orthogonal cover coding (OCC) codeword assigned to the UE and an OCC factor;
• receiving an uplink grant allocating uplink resources over a series of uplink time units for a quantity of repetitions of a transmission block;
• and
• transmitting, using the OCC codeword, each repetition of the quantity of repetitions of the transmission block over a quantity of uplink time units of the series of uplink time units, wherein a function of the quantity of uplink time units and the quantity of repetitions satisfies a threshold, and wherein the quantity of uplink time units is greater than or equal to the OCC factor.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE) to:

• receive, from a network entity, control signaling indicating an orthogonal cover coding (OCC) codeword assigned to the UE and an OCC factor;
• receive an uplink grant allocating uplink resources over a series of uplink time units for a quantity of repetitions of a transmission block;
• and
• transmit, using the OCC codeword, each repetition of the quantity of repetitions of the transmission block over a quantity of uplink time units of the series of uplink time units, wherein a function of the quantity of uplink time units and the quantity of repetitions satisfies a threshold, and wherein the quantity of uplink time units is greater than or equal to the OCC factor.
