1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,
wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
determine one or more valid uplink transmission occasions for control information based on a mapping of machine type communication physical downlink control channel occasions to physical downlink shared channel occasions and corresponding physical uplink control channel occasions that a user equipment is to apply during a hybrid automatic repeat request initial configuration; and
transmit signaling comprising an indication of a position of a valid uplink transmission occasion for control information relative to a position of one or more other valid uplink transmission occasions for control information.
