1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a control message identifying a frequency hop configuration that configures the UE to use frequency hopping when transmitting repetitions of an uplink shared channel;
determining, based at least in part on the UE being configured with the frequency hop configuration, a frequency hop for each repetition of the uplink shared channel, each frequency hop determined based at least in part on an uplink shared channel index corresponding to each respective repetition; and
transmitting the repetitions of the uplink shared channel using respective frequency hops in accordance with the determination and the frequency hop configuration in slots available for uplink shared channel transmissions.
