10. A method comprising:
determining a propagation delay between each of a plurality of transmit-receive points of a network and a user device based on timing advance information;
determining downlink timing related information for at least one of the plurality of transmit-receive points, in response to that at least one of the plurality of transmit-receive points is asynchronous;
determining, based on each determined propagation delay, at least one parameter associated with transmissions from each of the transmit-receive points,
wherein the at least one parameter is a transmission order for transmissions from the plurality of transmit-receive points repetition or a timing gap between transmissions from the plurality of transmit-receive points, and the transmission order or the timing gap is determined based also on the determined downlink timing related information; and
providing an indication to the user device of the determined at least one parameter.
