Non-access stratum connection handling

A wireless device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
• receive, from a non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station, access network information indicating an access network type of a plurality of access network types comprising:
• a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) NTN access network type;
• and
• a low earth orbit (LEO) NTN access network type;
• select, based on the access network type, a first non-access stratum (NAS) period among a plurality of periods comprising:
• a first value associated with the GEO NTN access network type;
• and
• a second value associated with the LEO NTN access network type;
• initiate a NAS procedure by sending, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) via the NTN base station, a first NAS request message, wherein a start of the first NAS period is based on the sending;
• and
• in response to an expiration of the first NAS period, abort the NAS procedure.

A system comprising:

• a non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station comprising:
• one or more first processors;
• and
• first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the NTN base station to send access and network information indicating an access network type of plurality of access network types comprising:
• a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) NTN access network type;
• and
• a low earth orbit (LEO) NTN access network type;
• and
• a wireless device comprising:
• one or more second processors;
• and
• second memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:
• receive the access and network information;
• select, based on the access network type, a first non-access stratum (NAS) period among a plurality of periods comprising:
• a first value associated with the GEO NTN access network type;
• and
• a second value associated with the LEO NTN access network type;
• initiate, a NAS procedure by sending, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) via the base station, a first NAS request message, wherein a start of the first NAS period is based on the sending;
• and
• in response to an expiration of the first NAS period, abort the NAS procedure.
