Timing configuration management for network entities

An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a message comprising a timing configuration for the UE based at least in part on a reference unit, the timing configuration corresponding to a measurement window and a measurement gap for measuring one or more synchronization signal blocks from a set of satellites each associated with one or more satellites, the message comprising one or more parameters corresponding to respective propagation delays from different satellites with respect to the reference unit, wherein the one or more parameters comprise one or more of a periodicity, an offset, a drift rate, a measurement window adjustment rate, or a combination thereof corresponding to a drift of one or more of the set of satellites, a speed of one or more of the set of satellites, or a gateway location of the UE;
• monitor for the one or more synchronization signal blocks based at least in part on the timing configuration and a respective propagation delay between the UE and a respective satellite of the set of satellites associated with the one or more synchronization signal blocks;
• and
• measure at least one of the one or more synchronization signal blocks in accordance with the measurement gap and the measurement window based at least in part on the monitoring and the respective propagation delay.

• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit an indication of a timing configuration for a user equipment (UE) based at least in part on a reference unit, the timing configuration corresponding to a measurement window and a measurement gap for measuring one or more synchronization signal blocks from a set of satellites, each satellite of the set of satellites associated with the network device;
• and
• transmit the one or more synchronization signal blocks based at least in part on the measurement gap, the measurement window, and a respective propagation delay between the UE and a satellite of the set of satellites.
