CLIENT DEVICE ADAPTED UPLINK REPETITIONS

Examples of the invention relates to client device adapted uplink repetitions. A client device (100) may influence the actual number of repetitions of an uplink transmission (ULTX) either directly by transmitting a number of repetitions determined by the client device (100) itself or indirectly by transmitting a recommendation message (520) to a network access node (300) of a network indicating a recommended number of repetitions for the uplink transmission. In the latter case, the network access node (300) responds with a recommendation reply message (540) either validating the recommended number of repetitions or instructing the client device (100) to perform another number of repetitions determined by the network. Thereby, improved radio resource utilization, reduced interference and reduced power consumption is possible. Furthermore, examples of the invention also relate to corresponding methods and a computer program.
