    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for facilitating triggered PDCCH-ordered PRACH transmissions in multi-TRP scenarios. One method may include a UE determining that a first TCI state is to be applied in a first slot and a second TCI state is to be applied in a second slot. The first TCI state is associated with a first TAG ID, a second TCI state is associated with a second TAG ID different than the first TAG ID, and the second slot is succeeding and adjacent to the first slot. The method may further include, based upon the determining, determining a third slot. The second TCI state is firstly to be applied in the third slot. The method may further include applying the second TCI state from the third slot onward.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses, and computer readable medium for positioning enhancement mechanism. A first device determines that a third device is to transmit a positioning related message in a non-connected state. The first device transmits assistance information to a second device serving the third device. The assistance information comprises at least one of data size and a transmission periodicity for the positioning related message. By means of the assistance information, the base stations are provided with proactive knowledge of the positioning related message. In this way, the base station is capable of determining appropriate configurations for the SDT procedure. The terminal device may then transmit the positioning related message in the RRC NON-CONNECTED state via the SDT. As such, the efficiency of SDT procedure can be improved, while avoiding segmentation or subsequent transmission of the positioning report.
