A timing adjustment method performed by a terminal may include: acquiring downlink synchronization with a base station; obtaining, from the base station, TA granularity-related information; transmitting, to the base station, a preamble and/or an SRS; receiving, from the base station, a TA command generated based on the preamble and/or SRS; determining a timing for uplink frame transmission by interpreting the TA command based on a TA granularity determined based on the TA granularity-related information; and performing the uplink frame transmission based on the determined timing.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. According to an embodiment, the method comprises initiating a small data transmission (SDT) procedure, in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state, obtaining a report for a log connection failure or an SDT procedure failure, based on an expiry of an SDT timer, wherein the report for the log connection failure includes information indicating that the report is for SDT and in case that the UE enters an RRC connected state, and transmitting the report to a base station, based on a request for the report from the base station.

In one aspect, a first access point (AP) may receive a first signal from a second AP. The first signal may be associated with a channel sounding procedure to be performed substantially simultaneously by the second AP and the first AP. The first AP may then receive a second signal from the second AP, and prior to a substantially simultaneous transmission by the second AP and the first AP. The second signal may include timing information relative to the first signal. The first AP may determine a start time of the substantially simultaneous transmission at the first AP based on the timing information, and may initiate the substantially simultaneous transmission according to the determined start time.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which synchronization of one or more direct communications links between a user equipment (UE) and one or more other UEs is provided by one or more sidelink synchronization signals. The sidelink synchronization signals may include a first sidelink synchronization signal that provides a relatively coarse synchronization (e.g., providing rough timing information about the start of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, without providing any information identifying the source of the signal) that may be used to identify a search space for a second sidelink synchronization signal that provides relatively fine synchronization (e.g., identifying more precisely the OFDM symbol boundaries) and an identifier of the device that is transmitting the sidelink synchronization signals.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating detection of false base stations based on signal times of arrival are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication of a UE includes receiving a signal from each of one or more neighboring base stations. The example method also includes determining a system timing associated with the wireless communications network based on a respective time of arrival at which each signal is received from the neighboring base stations. The example method also includes receiving a signal from an FBS, the FBS signal being associated with a PCI different than the PCIs associated with the signals received from each of the neighboring base stations. Additionally, the example method includes identifying a presence of the FBS based on a difference between the system timing and a time of arrival at which the signal is received from the FBS.
