Claim 11:
12. An apparatus for a base station, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
transmit, to a User Equipment (UE), a grant of resources for an uplink (UL) data transmission in a random access response (RAR) message during a random access procedure; and
receive the UL data over a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) from the UE during a scheduled slot, wherein the scheduled slot is based on a slot of the RAR message and an applicable slot offset value indicating a number of slots by which the slot of the RAR message precedes the scheduled slot;
transmit a system information block (SIB) before the random access procedure, wherein the SIB indicates a base value;
wherein the applicable slot offset value is based on a value set and an indicator comprised in the RAR message, wherein the applicable slot offset value comprises a delay value, and wherein the applicable slot offset value is identified by adding the delay value to the base value.
