Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for determining downlink control resources for transmitting control information to a user equipment (UE) that indicates downlink resources for a downlink transmission and a number of repetitions of the downlink transmission. The control information may be provided in a first transmission time interval (TTI), and the repetitions may span a number of TTIs. The UE may rate-match a shared channel containing the downlink transmission around the downlink control resources of the first TTI, and also perform the same rate-matching around corresponding resources in each subsequent TTI of the plurality of TTIs.
