The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a user equipment (UE) and/or base station. In one aspect, the apparatus may determine a selection procedure for uplink transmissions, the selection procedure including information for uplink data retransmissions. The apparatus may also transmit, to a UE, the selection procedure for uplink transmissions. The apparatus may also monitor for at least one uplink transmission from the UE based on the selection procedure for uplink transmissions. In another aspect, the apparatus may receive, from a base station, a selection procedure for uplink transmissions, the selection procedure including information for uplink data retransmissions. The apparatus may also implement the selection procedure for uplink transmissions. The apparatus may also transmit, to the base station, at least one uplink transmission based on the selection procedure for uplink transmissions.
