Timing advance offset configuration for inter-cell multiple downlink control information multiple transmission and reception point operation

A method for wireless communications at a network entity, comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), control signaling indicating a first timing advance offset value associated with a first serving cell identifier and a second timing advance offset value associated with a second cell identifier of a set of cell identifiers, wherein the first serving cell identifier and the second cell identifier are associated with a first component carrier;
• receive, from the UE, a first uplink message in accordance with a first transmission configuration indicator state associated with the first serving cell identifier and based at least in part on the first timing advance offset value;
• and
• receive, from the UE, a second uplink message in accordance with a second transmission configuration indicator state associated with the second cell identifier and based at least in part on the second timing advance offset.

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

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, from a network entity, control signaling indicating a first timing advance offset value associated with a first serving cell identifier and a second timing advance offset value associated with a second cell identifier of a set of cell identifiers, wherein the first serving cell identifier and the second cell identifier are associated with a first component carrier;
• transmit a first uplink message in accordance with a first transmission configuration indicator state associated with the first serving cell identifier and based at least in part on the first timing advance offset value;
• and
• transmit a second uplink message in accordance with a second transmission configuration indicator state associated with the second cell identifier and based at least in part on the second timing advance offset.
