1. An apparatus for a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive, from a base station, a grant of resources for an uplink (UL) data transmission in a random access response (RAR) message during a random access procedure;
identify a scheduled slot for the UL data transmission based on a received slot of the RAR message and an applicable slot offset value indicating a number of slots by which the received slot precedes the scheduled slot;
identify the applicable slot offset value based on a value set and an indicator comprised in the RAR message, wherein the applicable slot offset value comprises a delay value, wherein the applicable slot offset value is identified by adding the delay value to a base value, and wherein the base value is indicated in a system information block (SIB); and
transmit the UL data over a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) during the scheduled slot.
