1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a processor;
one or more transmitters; and
one or more receivers;
the processor and the one or more receivers configured to:
receive, from a first base station (BS), a first medium access control timing advance control element (MAC TA CE) that indicates a first adjustment to a first timing advance for the WTRU to use for one or more transmissions from the WTRU to the first BS; and
receive, from a second BS, a second MAC TA CE that indicates a second adjustment to a second timing advance for the WTRU to use for one or more transmissions from the WTRU to the second BS; and
the processor and the one or more transmitters configured to:
transmit a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to the first BS at a first transmission power; and
at least in part simultaneously to the first PUSCH transmission, transmit a second PUSCH transmission to the second BS at a second transmission power during an overlap time;
wherein a total transmission power of the first PUSCH transmission and the second PUSCH transmission is limited during the overlap time so that the total transmission power does not exceed a maximum transmission power, wherein the overlap time is based on the first MAC TA CE and the second MAC TA CE.
