1. An apparatus of wireless communication, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory comprising code executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive a first synchronization signal block (SSB) from an entity in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) at a first time and frequency location;
determine one or more time and frequency locations of one or more other SSBs from the entity in the NTN based on the first time and frequency location and a configured or predefined time and frequency pattern or mapping of the first SSB and the one or more other SSBs; and
monitor for the one or more other SSBs at the one or more time and frequency locations.
