1. An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the apparatus to:
identify that one or more uplink transmissions are to be transmitted by the UE during a first set of slots and within a first set of frequency resources, wherein the UE is associated with a first UE type defined for at least a reduced transmission capability;
identify that the one or more uplink transmissions are to be retransmitted during a second set of slots and within a second set of frequency resources that are different from the first set of frequency resources in accordance with a frequency hopping pattern that provides for inter-bandwidth part frequency hopping, wherein the first set of slots and the second set of slots each include two or more slots; and
transmit the one or more uplink transmissions in accordance with the frequency hopping pattern and the first UE type.
