TECHNIQUES FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK MOBILITY WITH A MOVING CELL

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE operating in an NTN may receive an indication of coverage information for a first cell associated with the NTN. The coverage information may indicate a coverage area supported by the first cell for wireless communications. The UE may transmit, based on location information of the UE and the coverage information, a message indicating a timing information associated with a measurement-based handover for the UE from the first cell to a second cell associated with the non-terrestrial network. For example, the message may include a recommendation for the UE to perform a non-measurement-based handover or an indication that the UE cannot complete the measurement-based handover before leaving the coverage area of the first cell.
