1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to cause the UE to:
receive an indication associated with an interruption for a satellite-based communication link, wherein the indication indicates a time period that includes a time period duration and a starting time offset for a future time;
determine the interruption for the satellite-based communication link based in part on UE location information and blockage information of an obstruction that blocks line-of-sight (LOS) propagation for the satellite-based communication link; and
refrain from performance of one or more communication link correction procedures for the time period associated with the interruption.
