1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS), first information on a number of repetitions for a message 3 (Msg 3) for a random access procedure and second information on a time division duplex (TDD) uplink (UL)-downlink (DL) configuration, by a radio resource control (RRC) configuration, wherein the first information indicates a plurality of candidate values of the number of repetitions for the Msg 3;
receiving, from the BS, a random access response (RAR) message including an UL grant on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the UL grant schedules a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for the Msg 3;
identifying the number of repetitions for the Msg 3 according to a field in the UL grant of the RAR message based on the first information, wherein a value of the field indicates one of the plurality of candidate values;
identifying a plurality of slots for PUSCH repetitions based on the TDD UL-DL configuration; and
transmitting, to the BS, the Msg 3 on the plurality of slots for the PUSCH repetitions based on the identified number of repetitions,
wherein a number of the plurality of candidate values is four, and
wherein the value of the field in the UL grant of the RAR message is associated with 2 bits.
