1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive, via broadcast signaling, configuration information indicating a same-physical cell identity (PCI) satellite switch from a first satellite to a second satellite, wherein the configuration information comprises an indication of a start time and an indication of an end time for the same-PCI satellite switch from the first satellite to the second satellite;
start a resynchronization for the same-PCI satellite switch based on the configuration information;
suspend uplink transmission with the first satellite in response to the same-PCI satellite switch; and
perform the same-PCI satellite switch to the second satellite based on the configuration information indicating the same-PCI satellite switch.
