1. A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving, from a radio network node, control signaling that configures one of an uplink grant and a downlink assignment to periodically recur, configures a number of redundant transmissions of a transport block that are transmittable within a bundle of the configured uplink grant or downlink assignment, the number being greater than or equal to one, and configures different sets of transmission occasions within which the number of redundant transmissions are one of transmittable during and starting during a period of the one of the uplink grant and the downlink assignment, the control signaling configuring the different sets of transmission occasions by configuring an offset, the control signaling including an offset-step field that indicates the offset, the offset being a number of slots up to a maximum number given by:

OG Complex Work Unit Math
where Δ is step size of the offset, Periodicity is the periodicity of configured uplink grants, repK is a duration of a set of transmission occasions, and where the periodicity and step size are in terms of a number of slots:
the configuring being a function of the offset and the configured uplink grant or downlink assignment being a configured downlink assignment; and
attempting to detect the number of redundant transmissions of a transport block within each of one or more of the different sets of transmission occasions.
