Techniques for non-terrestrial network mobility with a moving cell

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

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled with the processor, the processor configured to:
• receive an indication of coverage information for a first cell associated with a non-terrestrial network, the coverage information indicating a coverage area supported by the first cell for wireless communications;
• and
• receive, after a timing associated with time resources allocated for transmission of an indication of a time estimation associated with a connection between the first cell and the UE, a handover command associated with a measurement-based handover for the UE.

An apparatus for wireless communications at a network device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled with the processor, the processor configured to:
• output an indication of coverage information for a first cell associated with a non-terrestrial network, the coverage information indicating a coverage area supported by the first cell for wireless communications;
• and
• monitor for a message indicating a timing information associated with a measurement-based handover from the first cell to a second cell associated with the non-terrestrial network.
