1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station (BS), comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors individually or collectively to cause the apparatus to:
establish a first connection between the BS and a user equipment (UE) using a first carrier, wherein a timing difference exists between transmissions using the first carrier and transmissions using a second carrier; and
transmit an indication to the UE that the UE is to establish a second connection for communications via the second carrier, wherein the second connection is in accordance with the timing difference.
