    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for User Equipment (UE) Timing Advance (TA) reporting in a wireless communication system. The UE can appropriately trigger the TA report with the different configurations by system information (e.g., for Random Access (RA) procedure, for TA report during RA, etc.) and dedicated signaling (e.g., for Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected mode, for event-triggered TA report, etc.). A method for a UE in a wireless communication system can comprise receiving a first configuration of TA report, receiving a second configuration of TA report, and determining whether to trigger a second TA report upon receiving the second configuration based on whether a first TA report has been transmitted to a serving cell.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for a User Equipment (UE) to monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) appropriately in order to reduce power consumption and perform Contention Resolution for a Random Access (RA) procedure in a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN). The UE can perform a Msg3 transmission during a RA procedure in a NTN and start a RA contention resolution timer in the first symbol after the end of the Msg3 transmission plus a timing offset. In response to expiry of the RA contention resolution timer, the UE determines whether to consider Contention Resolution not successful based on at least whether the RA contention resolution timer expires during a time duration of the timing offset after a Msg3 retransmission.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for selecting beam for preconfigured uplink resources in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network node, a signaling to configure at least one Preconfigured Uplink Resource (PUR) associated with one or more beams from multiple beams. The UE selects a first beam from the multiple beams and performs a transmission of data in RRC_INACTIVE state using the at least one PUR via the first beam if the first beam fulfills at least one condition, wherein the at least one condition comprises that the first beam is associated with the at least one PUR and Reference Symbol Received Power (RSRP) of the first beam is better than a first threshold. The UE initiates a Random Access (RA) procedure and performs the transmission during the RA procedure if no beam of the multiple beams fulfills the at least one condition.
