1. A method of wireless communication operable at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a random access response (RAR) message from a base station as part of a random access procedure;
transmitting an uplink (UL) communication to the base station as part of the random access procedure, the UL communication comprising a plurality of repetitions of a UL message, each repetition of the plurality of repetitions being configured by applying, to the UL message, a respective redundancy version (RV) of an RV pattern having a plurality of RVs, wherein an initial repetition of the plurality of repetitions is configured by applying a default RV index as a starting RV index; and
receiving a downlink message from the base station based on the UL message.
