1. An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising one or more processors coupled to one or more memories and configured to:
receive downlink control information (DCI) via a first entity of a plurality of entities; and
determine, based on the DCI, scheduling information for multiple transmissions on second entities of the plurality of entities and a repetition pattern,
wherein each entity of the second entities is distinct from the first entity, and
wherein the repetition pattern indicates:
that a channel is repeated over a set of one or more entities of the plurality of entities, and
a format/location of the channel per entity, and
wherein:
the one or more processors are further configured to decode the DCI and initiate transmission of a common ACK/NACK using the multiple transmissions on the second entities of the plurality of entities, wherein the repetition pattern is indicated in the DCI by an index of a pre-configured candidate repetition pattern, and wherein the pre-configured candidate repetition pattern includes a non-repetition pattern with one transmission on one entity; or
the repetition pattern is included in the scheduling information, and wherein the repetition pattern comprises an indicator configured to indicate Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) repetition and Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) repetition.
