1. User equipment, comprising:
one or more antennas;
a transmitter coupled to the one or more antennas;
a receiver coupled to the one or more antennas; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, the at least one processor configured to
cause the transmitter and the receiver to detect a terrestrial communication node, synchronize to the terrestrial communication node,
cause the receiver to receive system information facilitating communication with a non-terrestrial communication node from the terrestrial communication node,
configure the receiver to have less than or equal a threshold power of performance degradation when
receiving a signal on a first channel having a center frequency and a bandwidth, and
an interfering signal having a power level is present in a second channel and at a frequency offset from the center frequency, the second channel associated with a subcarrier spacing value, and the frequency offset from the center frequency based on the bandwidth, the subcarrier spacing value, and a fixed offset frequency, and
cause the receiver to receive data from the non-terrestrial communication node.
