22 Claims

1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

identify at least one scheduling offset associated with a propagation delay between a network node of a non-terrestrial network (NTN) and the UE, wherein the at least one scheduling offset is at least one K_offset including one or more of a cell-specific K_offset, a UE-specific K_offset, or a beam-specific K_offset;

select a first scheduling offset of the at least one scheduling offset associated with the propagation delay between the network node and the UE, wherein the first scheduling offset is the cell-specific K_offset; and

transmit, to the network node, an uplink transmission based on the first scheduling offset, the uplink transmission being associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), or a physical random access channel (PRACH), wherein the UE-specific K_offset is selected as the first scheduling offset after the uplink transmission is transmitted.
