Systems and methods may be provided for prioritizing neighboring cell(s) during store and forward operation, e.g., in non-terrestrial networks (NTNs). One or more network entities (e.g., neighboring cell(s) or satellite(s) may be prioritized during store and forward operation based on at least remaining downlink (DL) non-access stratum (NAS) messages associated with an initiated procedure (e.g., a TAU procedure or an attach procedure) and/or network assistance information. Prioritizing a network entity may include determining whether the network entity is in store and forward mode. The WTRU as part of the prioritization may apply a cell selection bias to measurements associated with the network entity. The WTRU may send messages (e.g., RACH messages) to initiate a connection (e.g., a random access procedure) with the prioritized network entity. The WTRU (e.g., upon completion of the initiated procedure) may initiate neighbor cell measurements and/or mobility to determine the best available cell to continue connection.
