1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) operable for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) repetition communication, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
activate, at the UE, specified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states based on medium access control (MAC) signaling received at the UE;
receive, at the UE, in downlink control information (DCI), a single value configured to indicate a usage of cycling through a plurality of the specified TCI states to receive PDSCH repetitions;
determine, at the UE, based on the single value in the DCI, to perform the cycling through the plurality of the specified TCI states to receive the PDSCH repetitions; and
receive, at the UE, the PDSCH repetitions by the cycling through the plurality of the specified TCI states; and
a memory interface configured to store the single value in a memory.
