1. A method of wireless communication comprising:
operating, by a user equipment (UE), in a network with fixed radio cells;
determining, by the UE, a plurality of potential satellites for selecting a first cell to camp on, the first cell associated with a first satellite;
performing cell reselection, by the UE, to select a cell associated with a second satellite using a selection condition, wherein the selection condition indicates timing information for a cell stop time, the cell stop time indicating when a serving radio cell will stop serving a particular area; and
switching to the cell associated with the second satellite before the cell stop time by establishing, by the UE, a connection with the second satellite for paging monitoring or wireless communications.
