1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of downlink reference signals (DL RSs) from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs);
transmitting at least one uplink reference signal (UL RS) to the plurality of TRPs; and
transmitting a measurement report for the plurality of TRPs to a network entity, wherein the measurement report includes a receive-transmit (Rx-Tx) time difference measurement for at least two TRPs of the plurality of TRPs, and wherein a step size for reporting the Rx-Tx time difference measurement is based on a time unit Tc and one or more numerology factors.
