Abstract: Some wireless communication systems include one or more user equipments (UEs) and one or more non-terrestrial network (NTN) nodes (e.g., satellites). In some approaches, a UE may collect report data, such as a minimization of drive test report or UE assistance information. When a NTN node operates in a store and forward mode, the NTN node may have intermittent connectivity with a core network. In some examples of the techniques described herein, a UE may store data collected when the NTN node is operating in the store and forward mode. The UE may transmit delayed report data based on the collected data to a core network when the UE has coverage from a terrestrial network node or a NTN node. For example, the UE may transmit UE location data collected when the NTN node is operating in the store and forward mode.
