1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a user equipment (UE), an indicator from a base station, the indicator comprising information to enable a plurality of precoders;
configuring the UE, based on the indicator, to enable the UE to associate the plurality of precoders to one or more of a plurality of Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions based on the indicator, the associating including a cyclic pattern between the plurality of precoders and the plurality of PUSCH repetitions; and
transmitting, by the UE, the one or more of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions corresponding to one or more of the plurality of precoders,
wherein the indicator comprises a first field and a second field in a single downlink control information (DCI) transmission, the first field in the single DCI transmission providing information about a first precoder, and the second field in the single DCI transmission providing information about a second precoder.
