Cell barring procedure in NTN

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from at least one cell via at least one bit in a master information block (MIB) or a system information block (SIB), a barring indication based on a supported network of the at least one cell and a supported network of the UE, the supported network of the at least one cell corresponding to a terrestrial network (TN) or a non-terrestrial network (NTN), the supported network of the UE corresponding to a TN or an NTN;
• skipping, based on the received barring indication, a selection of the at least one cell for communication, wherein the UE is barred from selecting the at least one cell for communication for a time period;
• and selecting the at least one cell for communication after the time period;
• wherein the UE is barred from selecting the at least one cell for communication for a duration of the UE storing information about barring access to the at least one cell, and
• the information about barring access to the at least one cell comprises at least one of a physical cell identifier (PCID) or a frequency of the at least one cell.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a cell, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• determine whether to bar at least one user equipment (UE) from selecting the cell for communication based on a supported network of the cell and a supported network of the at least one UE, the supported network of the cell corresponding to a terrestrial network (TN) or a non-terrestrial network (NTN), the supported network of the at least one UE corresponding to a TN or an NTN;
• transmit, to the at least one UE via at least one bit in a master information block (MIB) or a system information block (SIB), a barring indication based on the supported network of the cell and
• the supported network of the at least one UE;
• and
• bar, based on the transmitted barring indication, the at least one UE from selecting the cell for communication, wherein the at least one UE is barred from selecting the cell for communication for a time period;
• wherein the at least one UE is barred from selecting the cell for communication for a duration of the UE storing information about barring access to the cell, and
• the information about barring access to the cell comprises at least one of a physical cell identifier (PCID) or a frequency of the cell.
