This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for configuring and signaling repetition transmissions of broadcast system information on downlink (DL) channels. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a repetition configuration for broadcast information carried on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), may identify a number of slots configured to carry the broadcast information on the PDSCH based at least in part on the repetition configuration, and may receive the broadcast information carried on the PDSCH in the number of identified slots.
