1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving configuration information for an uplink grant that provides periodic resources for a plurality of uplink grant periods, each uplink grant period including two or more slots, wherein the configuration information indicates that a set of repetitions of an uplink communication are to be transmitted in a set of slots within one or more uplink grant periods of the plurality of uplink grant periods, and two or more repetitions of the set of repetitions have associated redundancy version values of a sequence of redundancy version values;
receiving an indication to enable repetition deferral to transmit one or more of the set of repetitions;
determining, prior to an initial slot of a first uplink grant period of the plurality of uplink grant periods, a first set of slots for transmitting a first set of repetitions of a first uplink communication within the first uplink grant period, wherein slots of the first set of slots contain available resources to transmit repetitions of the first set of repetitions, and wherein an associated redundancy version value for each slot of the first set of slots is based at least in part on the sequence of redundancy version values;
transmitting, based at least in part on the indication to enable repetition deferral, the first set of repetitions of the first uplink communication in the first uplink grant period; and
transmitting an uplink control information communication in a predetermined slot that is configured for uplink control information, irrespective of whether the predetermined slot is in the first set of slots,
wherein the uplink control information is multiplexed with a repetition of the first set of repetitions when the predetermined slot is in the first set of slots and the uplink control information is not multiplexed with a repetition of the first set of repetitions when the predetermined slot is not in the first set of slots.
