wherein the random access procedure comprises:

transmitting a first message including a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble based on the SSB; and

receiving a second message including information related to a random access response (RAR) after transmitting the first message,

wherein the TA is obtained based on a sum of:

(i) a difference between a reception time of the SSB at the apparatus and a transmission time of the first message at the apparatus; and

(ii) a difference between a transmission time of the SSB at the base station and a reception time of the first message at the base station,

wherein the second message further includes information related to a timing offset and information related to a timing offset,

wherein the timing offset is related to a downlink (DL) uplink (UL) switching time of the base station, and

wherein the TA is obtained based on:

the timing offset being applied to the sum of (i) the difference between the reception time of the SSB at the apparatus and the transmission time of the first message at the apparatus, and (ii) the difference between the transmission time of the SSB at the base station and the reception time of the first message at the base station.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information for configuring the TA to be obtained based on the sum of (i) the difference between the reception time of the SSB at the apparatus and the transmission time of the first message at the apparatus, and (ii) the difference between the transmission time of the SSB at the base station and the reception time of the first message at the base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message further includes:

information related to the difference between the transmission time of the SSB at the base station and the reception time of the first message at the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reporting the TA based on receiving information for configuring the TA to be reported.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises a plurality of antenna elements,

the method further comprising:

based on receiving information for configuring a measurement related to one or more antenna elements among the plurality of antenna elements to be reported, reporting information relating to a difference between a reception time of a downlink (DL) reference signal (RS) related to the one or more antenna elements at the apparatus and the transmission time of the first message at the apparatus,

wherein the DL RS includes one or more of the SSB, a positioning reference signal (PRS), or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access procedure further comprises:

transmitting a third message including a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on scheduling information included in the RAR,

wherein the TA is obtained based on a sum of:

(i) a difference between a reception time of the second message at the apparatus and a transmission time of the third message at the apparatus; and

(ii) a difference between a transmission time of the second message at the base station and a reception time of the third message at the base station.

7. A apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;

performing a random access procedure; and

obtaining information related to timing advance (TA),

wherein the random access procedure comprises:

transmitting a first message including a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble based on the SSB; and

receiving a second message including information related to a random access response (RAR) after transmitting the first message,

wherein the TA is obtained based on a sum of:

(i) a difference between a reception time of the SSB at the apparatus and a transmission time of the first message at the apparatus; and

(ii) a difference between a transmission time of the SSB at the base station and a reception time of the first message at the base station,

wherein the second message further includes information related to a timing offset and information related to a timing offset,

wherein the timing offset is related to a downlink (DL) uplink (UL) switching time of the base station, and

wherein the TA is obtained based on:

the timing offset being applied to the sum of (i) the difference between the reception time of the SSB at the apparatus and the transmission time of the first message at the apparatus, and (ii) the difference between the transmission time of the SSB at the base station and the reception time of the first message at the base station.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive information for configuring the TA to be obtained based on the sum of (i) the difference between the reception time of the SSB at the apparatus and the transmission time of the first message at the apparatus, and (ii) the difference between the transmission time of the SSB at the base station and the reception time of the first message at the base station.
