Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may identify a first grant repetition configuration of a plurality of grant repetition configurations for a user equipment (UE). The base station may generate a grant repetition parameter corresponding to the first grant repetition configuration. The base station may transmit the grant repetition parameter to the UE to indicate the first grant repetition configuration. The base station may transmit a repetition of grants in accordance with the first grant repetition configuration. The UE may receive the grant repetition parameter from the base station and determine a grant repetition configuration corresponding to the grant repetition parameter. The UE may monitor for a repetition of grants corresponding to the determined grant repetition configuration.
