1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a user device of a communication system, configuration information for an adjustment to a repetition operation of uplink control information on a physical uplink control channel, the configuration information including an offset period, the repetition operation including a plurality of resource repetitions, the plurality of resource repetitions including consecutive resource repetitions;
determining, by the user device, whether a gap between the consecutive resource repetitions is less than a switching gap threshold, the consecutive resource repetitions including a first resource repetition associated with a first transmission-reception-point (TRP) and a second resource repetition associated with a second TRP;
modifying, by the user device, the repetition operation using the configuration information in response to the gap being determined as less than the switching gap threshold, the modifying including shifting the second resource repetition by the offset period such that the gap is equal to or greater than the switching gap threshold; and
transmitting, by the user device, the uplink control information according to the modified repetition operation.
