Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) that receives first control signaling indicating position information associated with a non-terrestrial station (NTS), the position information including an altitude of the NTS, a distance between the NTS and the apparatus, and/or an indication of a timing delay between the NTS and the apparatus. The UE also receives second control signaling indicating a first configuration identifying a first reference signal occasion. The UE determines a temporal range of an expected reference signal time difference duration based in part on the position information and the first configuration, and receives a reference signal during the temporal range of the expected reference signal time difference duration.
