Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to timing adjustment for uplink transmission, particularly in a high-speed scenario. A first device receives, from a second device, offset information indicating a difference in propagation delays between the first device and a third device experienced by the second device.

The time shifting value is associated with a switch from a beam associated with the first device to a beam associated with the third device. The third device is different from the first device. The first device transmits, to the second device, timing information indicating an amount of timing advance for transmission from the second device to the third device. The timing information is determined based on the time shifting value. Through this solution. UL transmission will be timing aligned.

Abstract: A technique of accounting for the difference in required output power reduction or required duty cycle when selecting the RO in addition to the DL RS. Both output power reduction and duty cycle are independently determined by UE itself (i.e., UE needs to be able to determine itself required power backoff and/or duty cycle in order to meet RF exposure requirements). Advantageously, a RACH procedure in which the UE determines both output power reduction and duty cycle independently enables better choices of output power reduction and duty cycle, enhancing data activity and coverage.
