Managing terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory for storing data;
• a network interface configured to enable network communications;
• and
• a processor for executing instructions associated with the data, wherein executing the instructions causes the apparatus to perform operations, comprising:
• obtaining location information for a plurality of terrestrial radio base stations and a plurality of non-terrestrial network (NTN) radio base stations;
• obtaining an indication of neighboring NTN radio base stations for each of the plurality of terrestrial radio base stations;
• storing an NTN neighbor list that includes the indication of the neighboring NTN radio base stations for each of the plurality of terrestrial radio base stations;
• and
• performing one or more actions with respect to the NTN neighbor list and the location information.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:

• obtaining location information for a plurality of terrestrial radio base stations and a plurality of non-terrestrial network (NTN) radio base stations;
• obtaining an indication of neighboring NTN radio base stations for each of the plurality of terrestrial radio base stations;
• storing an NTN neighbor list that includes the indication of the neighboring NTN radio base stations for each of the plurality of terrestrial radio base stations;
• and
• performing one or more actions with respect to the NTN neighbor list and the location information.
