Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects described herein relate to generating multiple repetitions of an uplink signal for transmission, and transmitting the multiple repetitions of the uplink signal, wherein each repetition of the multiple repetitions includes a set of phase tracking reference signals (PTRSs). Other aspects relate to receiving the repetitions, and using the PTRSs to determine a phase difference in the repetitions for performing joint channel estimation.
