1. Baseband processing circuitry of a machine-type communication (MTC) user equipment (UE) configured to:
receive a radio resource control (RRC) message from a base station comprising a first repetition parameter indicating a first number of repetitions of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission carrying hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback in response to a message 4 (msg4) of a random access procedure for a first coverage enhancement level and a second repetition parameter indicating a second number of repetitions of a PUCCH transmission carrying HARQ-ACK feedback in response to the msg4 of the random access procedure for a second different coverage enhancement level; and
transmit the PUCCH carrying the HARQ-ACK feedback in response to the msg4 of the random access procedure in accordance with the first number of repetitions or the second number of repetitions included in the message.
