1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
determining, by the UE, a number of repetitions equal to a first number, K, and a number of spatial relations equal to a second number, N, to transmit an uplink channel with a plurality of uplink channel repetitions and with a plurality of spatial relations,
where a total number of the plurality of uplink channel repetitions comprise the first number, K, of repetitions and a total number of the plurality of spatial relations comprise the second number, N, of spatial relations;
determining the plurality of spatial relations for transmission of the plurality of uplink channel repetitions based on a plurality of quasi-co-location assumptions associated with downlink reception; and
transmitting the plurality of uplink channel repetitions based on the determined plurality of spatial relations.
