1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
communicating, with a network node, at least one signal associated with a propagation delay between the UE and the network node; and
receiving, from the network node, information indicating a timing advance (TA) associated with the propagation delay for timing alignment with the network node, the TA having a precision that corresponds to a type of the UE,
wherein the type of the UE comprises one of an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) UE or a non-IIoT UE, and the precision of the TA is greater for the IIoT UE than for the non-IIoT UE.
