1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
receive one or more location related information, wherein the one or more location related information comprises serving cell identifier (ID) information and information based upon location related to one or more satellite;
determine to use at least one of:
global navigation satellite system information to determine a location of the apparatus, or
positioning assistance data to determine the location of the apparatus;
determine a timing advance, wherein the determining of the timing advance is at least partially based upon the one or more location related information including ephemeris information of the one or more satellite, wherein the ephemeris information used to determine the timing advance comprises an orbital position of the one or more satellite;
determine to perform a preconfigured uplink resource transmission using a preconfigured uplink resource;
wherein the preconfigured uplink resource transmission is performed based on at least one preconfigured uplink resource configuration that has an associated validity time during which the at least one preconfigured uplink resource configuration is valid for the performing of the preconfigured uplink resource transmission using the preconfigured uplink resource; and
perform, based at least partially upon the determined timing advance, the preconfigured uplink resource transmission.
