Change of tracking area code for wireless networks

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

• receiving system information that includes an indication that a first cell of a non-terrestrial network is associated with a first tracking area indicator and a second tracking area indicator;
• reporting, after receiving the system information, a first earth-fixed tracking area to a non-access stratum of the UE, the reporting being done in response to the first cell serving the first earth-fixed tracking area associated with the first tracking area indicator and a second earth-fixed tracking area associated with the second tracking area indicator;
• and
• monitoring paging resources for a paging message using a first paging radio network temporary identifier, wherein the paging resources are associated with the first earth-fixed tracking area, and wherein the first paging radio network temporary identifier is different from a second paging radio network temporary identifier associated with the second earth-fixed tracking area.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a transceiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the UE to:
• receive, via the transceiver, system information that includes an indication that a first cell of a non-terrestrial network is associated with a first tracking area indicator and a second tracking area indicator;
• report, after receiving the system information, a first earth-fixed tracking area to a non-access stratum of the UE, the reporting being done in response to the first cell serving the first earth-fixed tracking area associated with the first tracking area indicator and a second earth-fixed tracking area associated with the second tracking area indicator;
• and
• monitor paging resources for a paging message using a first paging radio network temporary identifier, wherein the paging resources are associated with the first earth-fixed tracking area, and wherein the first paging radio network temporary identifier is different from a second paging radio network temporary identifier associated with the second earth-fixed tracking area.
