Publication number: 20260181435Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support mobility between a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell and a terrestrial network (TN) cell. If the UE is connected to an NTN cell, the UE may determine timing for a neighboring TN cell using a reference timestamp. A first network entity supporting the NTN cell may request the reference timestamp from a second network entity supporting the TN cell. The second network entity may output the timestamp in response to the request. The first network entity may obtain the timestamp and output an indication of the timestamp to the UE in a measurement gap configuration. The UE may use the reference timestamp to determine timing for a measurement gap and may monitor for a signal (e.g., a synchronization signal) from the second network entity supporting the TN cell during the measurement gap.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2026Publication date: June 25, 2026Inventors: Jae Ho RYU, Changhwan PARK, Liangping MA, Bharat SHRESTHA, Hari SANKAR
