1. A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
determining, based on a comparison between a threshold and location-related information associated with a satellite in a non-terrestrial network, whether a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) configuration is valid;
in response to determining the PUR configuration is valid, transmitting, to a base station (BS) via the satellite, a communication signal in a PUR; and
in response to determining the PUR configuration is invalid:
adjusting, based on updated location-related information associated with the satellite, the threshold; and
determining, based on the threshold as adjusted, whether the PUR configuration is valid.
