Autonomous timing advance adjustment for multiple transmission reception points

An apparatus for wireless communications at a network node, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a reference signal configuration associated with a transmission reception point (TRP);
• transmit, to the UE, a reference signal based at least in part on the reference signal configuration;
• and
• receive, from the UE, a communication, wherein a timing of the communication is based at least in part on a multi-TRP autonomous timing advance adjustment procedure performed by the UE.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a first transmission reception point (TRP), a first reference signal;
• receiving, from a second TRP, a second reference signal;
• and
• performing an autonomous timing advance adjustment procedure by autonomously adjusting a first timing advance parameter associated with the first TRP based at least in part on a measurement associated with the first reference signal and autonomously adjusting a second timing advance parameter associated with the second TRP based at least in part on a measurement associated with the second reference signal.
