In order to provide a transmission device and transmission method with which a response signal for random access preamble transmitted from a preamble transmission device is efficiently transmitted, setting unit in base station sets a first resource candidate group, which enables terminal capable of receiving a latch response transmitted by demodulation reference signal (DMRS) transmission to be selected, and a second resource candidate group, which enables terminal incapable of receiving a latch response transmitted by DMRS transmission but capable of receiving a latch response transmitted by cell-specific reference signal (CRS) transmission to be selected. Control unit selects DMRS transmission as the latch response transmission method when a resource in which latch preamble has been received is included in the first candidate group, but selects CRS transmission as the latch response transmission method when the resource is included in the second resource candidate group.

Methods for time synchronization among communication nodes in a vehicle network are disclosed. An operation method of a first communication node includes: transmitting a first frame requesting verification of time synchronization to a second communication node; receiving a second frame including information indicating a link delay time of the second communication node from the second communication node; receiving a third frame including information indicating a transmission time of the second frame from the second communication node; and verifying time synchronization between the first and second communication nodes based on the information included in the received second and third frames.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink (DL) signal from a base station on DL beam(s). The UE may identify a selected DL beam of the DL beam(s) for communications from the base station to the UE. The UE may transmit a random access channel (RACH) message to the base station using at least one of a resource or a RACH waveform selected based at least in part on the selected DL beam.

The present disclosure describes a method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for use in providing reverse time alignment in a wireless network. For example, the method may include obtaining a first timing value from a serving node and a second timing value from each of one or more non-serving nodes of the UE, computing one or more timing differences between the first timing value and each of one or more second timing values, and reporting the one or more timing differences to the serving node. Additionally, the disclosure describes a method, an apparatus and a computer-readable medium for use in providing time alignment in a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission network by obtaining of a CoMP transmission network timing information from a plurality of user equipments (UEs) and storing the timing information for each of the plurality of UEs for communicating with the first node.
