Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for protecting a reference signal (RS) and/or adjusting timing advance (TA) values to be used for timing synchronization between an apparatus (e.g. user equipment (UE))) and a device (e.g. transmit-and-receive point (TRP)) in a wireless network. The device operates in full-duplex (FD) mode and the apparatus operates in half-duplex (HD) or FD mode. In some embodiments, RSs transmitted in uplink and downlink directions are protected by puncturing one or more portions of time-frequency resources so that interference from other signals can be avoided or mitigated. The punctured portion of the time-frequency resources may be one or more symbols that together overlaps with a symbol at which the RS is to be received or sent. The device may send information indicating the portion to puncture using a higher-layer signaling, a dynamic signaling, or a preconfiguration by the network.
