A
user equipment (2, 12A, 800A, 800B, 1000) is configured for use in a
wireless communication
system. The
user equipment (2, 12A, 800A, 800B, 1000) is configured to transmit to a
base station (4, 10,900A, 900B, 1100) a scheduled transmission (6) that comprises a data block and one or more repetitions of the data block. The scheduled transmission (6) in this regard is transmitted with transmissiongaps therein according to a transmission gap pattern (8) that specifies a pattern of transmission gaps in time. A
base station (4, 10, 900A, 900B, 1100) may correspondingly be configured to receive from the
user equipment (2, 12A, 800A, 800B, 1000) the scheduled transmission (6) with transmission gaps therein according to the transmission gap pattern (8).
