The present invention provides a transmitter which can suitably perform a transmission power control in a PT-RS port. In this transmitter (100), a control unit (101) determines a transmission power for transmitting a reference signal (PT-RS) for phase tracking and a data signal within a range in which the maximum transmission power for each antenna port is not exceeded. In addition, a transmission unit (105) transmits the reference signal for phase tracking and the data signal at the transmission power determined by the control unit (101).

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for using multiple timing advances for simultaneous uplink reception, for example, using multiple antennas, beams, and/or antenna panels. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes configuring a plurality of timing advances (TAs) for a plurality of uplink transmissions using a plurality of antennas. The UE transmits the plurality of uplink transmissions to a base station (BS) using the plurality of antennas based on the plurality of timing advances. A method that may be performed by a BS includes receiving a plurality of uplink transmissions from a UE and transmitting timing information to the UE in a message, the timing information based on when each of the plurality of uplink transmissions was received at the BS.
