    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to wireless communication systems and methods, and particularly relates to resource control for wireless transmission with repetitions based on subband full duplex. The various implementations concern determination of conditions under which the various repetitions of an uplink (or downlink) wireless transmission are allowed to be transmitted in a mixed manner across an uplink (or downlink) bandwidth part and an uplink (or downlink) subband within an otherwise downlink (or uplink) bandwidth part. Various mechanisms for determining resources for the transmission of the repetitions based on one or more resource identification fields in a resource control message for scheduling the wireless transmission are further disclosed. Such mechanisms provide consistent resource allocation between the repetitions transmitted in the mixed manner.
