Reference timing delivery to user equipment with propagation delay compensation

A method of wireless communication at a network node, comprising:

• communicating, with a user equipment (UE), at least one signal associated with a propagation delay between the UE and the network node;
• and
• transmitting, to the UE, information indicating a timing advance (TA) associated with the propagation delay for timing alignment by the UE with the network node, the TA having a precision that corresponds to a type of the UE.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for communicating, with a network node, at least one signal associated with a propagation delay between the UE and the network node;
• and
• means for receiving, from the network node, information indicating a timing advance (TA) associated with the propagation delay for timing alignment with the network node, the TA having a precision that corresponds to a type of the UE.

A computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• communicate, with a network node, at least one signal associated with a propagation delay between the UE and the network node;
• and
• receive, from the network node, information indicating a timing advance (TA) associated with the propagation delay for timing alignment with the network node, the TA having a precision that corresponds to a type of the UE.
