Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that it is scheduled to transmit an uplink message during one or more symbols of a first transmission time interval (TTI) is scheduled to receive a downlink message during a second TTI subsequent to the first TTI. The UE may advance transmission of the uplink message in accordance with a timing advance (TA) value and a TA offset value, such that the timing advance offset value is zero. The UE may proceed to apply a transient power mitigation scheme to mitigate potential interference to reception of the downlink message during a transient power duration associated with turning off an uplink transmission chain used for transmitting the uplink message. In some examples, the transient power mitigation scheme may be applied based on the TA offset value being zero.
