Measurement gaps for Synchronization Signal Block Measurement Time Configuration windows in Non-Terrestrial Networks

A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:

• obtaining location information associated with a wireless device and ephemeris data for one or more satellite cells;
• transmitting, to the wireless device, a measurement configuration for the wireless device to measure reference signals from one or more satellite cells;
• receiving, from the wireless device, a report indicating the wireless device adapted the measurement configuration;
• and
• dynamically adapting the measurement configuration based on the ephemeris data for the one or more satellite cells and the location information associated with the wireless device.

A wireless device comprising processing circuitry and a memory, the processing circuitry operable to:

• obtain location information associated with the wireless device and/or ephemeris data for one or more satellite cells;
• receive a measurement configuration to measure reference signals from the one or more satellite cells;
• dynamically adapt the measurement configuration based on the location of the wireless device and/or the ephemeris data for the one or more satellite cells;
• transmit, to a network node, a report indicating the adapted measurement configuration;
• and
• based on the adapted measurement configuration, measure a reference signal from the one or more satellite cells.
