Method and apparatus to provide an indication of a PUCCH repetition factor within DCI. The apparatus allocates downlink resources for at least one UE. The downlink resources comprising an indication of a PUCCH repetition factor within a DCI. The apparatus transmits the downlink resources to the at least one UE. The indication of the PUCCH repetition factor may comprises a dynamic indication or an implicit indication of the PUCCH repetition factor. The dynamic indication of the PUCCH repetition factor may be indicated in a separate bitfield within the DCI. The implicit indication of the PUCCH repetition factor may be based on a time domain resource allocation of an associated PDSCH.
