Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to Timing Advance validation for Small Data Transmissions. A first device includes at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program codes; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first device to: receive TA validation configuration information associated with one or more downlink reference beams for an inactive state of the first device from a second device, select a CG resource to transmit a data packet to the second device based on a CG resource configuration for small data transmissions of the first device, and verify, based at least on the TA validation configuration information and the selected CG resource, TA validity of the first device.
