1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
receive, from a network entity and via a system information block (SIB), information that indicates frequencies associated with a terrestrial network (TN) cell, wherein the information includes one or more of a priority of frequency, frequency-specific offset, or cell-specific offset, wherein the information indicates a list of satellites and an index of frequencies, and wherein frequencies from the index of frequencies that correspond to satellites from the list of satellites are indicative of frequencies associated with non-terrestrial network (NTN) cells;
receive TN cell coverage information that indicates one or more of cell coordinates for the TN cell, a cell radius for the TN cell, or a cell center for the TN cell; and
perform, during an idle mode of the UE and when the UE is located within an NTN cell, measurements of the frequencies associated with the TN cell based at least in part on a location of the UE being within the TN cell.
