1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more transceivers;
one or more processors;
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors; and
instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the UE to:
receive, via the one or more transceivers, a message scheduling a multi-repetition uplink transmission to a network device;
generate a protocol data unit comprising filler data for the multi-repetition uplink transmission based at least in part on a quantity of data in a buffer for transmission to the network device failing to satisfy a threshold;
transmit, via the one or more transceivers, a repetition of the multi-repetition uplink transmission based at least in part on the repetition overlapping with a feedback message scheduled for transmission to the network device, the repetition comprising the protocol data unit multiplexed with the feedback message; and
skip a transmission of one or more additional repetitions of the multi-repetition uplink transmission that do not overlap with the feedback message based at least in part on the protocol data unit comprising the filler data.
