A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to receive resource allocation information of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a number of repetitions for the PUSCH. The UE also includes control circuitry configured to calculate a transport block size (TBS) for the PUSCH. The UE further includes transmission circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH. The TBS is calculated based on a number of resource elements (REs) for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), REs for additional DMRS, and REs for a DMRS added right after a slot boundary for a repetition of the PUSCH.
