1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
receive configuration information for an uplink grant that provides periodic resources for a plurality of uplink grant periods, wherein the configuration information indicates that a set of repetitions of an uplink communication are to be transmitted in one or more uplink grant periods of the plurality of uplink grant periods;
receive an indication to enable repetition deferral to transmit one or more of the set of repetitions;
determine, prior to an initial slot of a first uplink grant period of the plurality of uplink grant periods, a first set of slots for transmitting a first set of repetitions of a first uplink communication within the first uplink grant period, wherein slots of the first set of slots contain available resources to transmit repetitions of the first set of repetitions;
transmit, based at least in part on the indication to enable repetition deferral, the first set of repetitions of the first uplink communication in the first uplink grant period; and
transmit an uplink control information communication in a predetermined slot that is configured for uplink control information, irrespective of whether the predetermined slot is in the first set of slots,
wherein the uplink control information is multiplexed with a repetition of the first set of repetitions when the predetermined slot is in the first set of slots and the uplink control information is not multiplexed with a repetition of the first set of repetitions when the predetermined slot is not in the first set of slots.
