Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to timing advance (TA) pre-compensation in a random access procedure. A method comprises obtaining configuration information associated with at least a timing advance (TA) pre-compensation capability; determining whether a difference between a current location of the first apparatus with its previous location is below a threshold based on the configuration information; and transmitting, to a second apparatus, a message comprising a random access preamble and uplink data using a timing advance (TA) value of the previous location in response to the difference is below the threshold.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer readable storage medium for beamlock on a plurality of antenna arrays. In a method, a first apparatus receives a beamlock message from a second apparatus. The beamlock message indicates that one or more transmitting beams are to be locked on a first list of antenna arrays and/or one or more receiving beams are to be locked on a second list of antenna arrays. Based on the beamlock message, the first apparatus performs beamlock of the one or more transmitting beams and/or the one or more receiving beams.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for low-power wake-up signal design. A method may include transmitting, to a network element, a report indicating status on whether at least one beam of at least one beam pair is interrupted or not when beam pair switching. The at least one beam pair may include at least a first beam associated with a first transmit and receive point, and a second beam associated with a second transmit and receive point. The method may also include receiving, in response to the report, scheduling for a radio transmission.
