Claim 0:
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) connected to a serving cell associated with a first satellite, the method comprising:
receiving, at the UE, a measurement configuration comprising a plurality of synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement timing configurations (SMTCs), wherein:
a first SMTC in the plurality of SMTCs has a first set of parameters and a second SMTC of the plurality of SMTCs has a second set of parameters,
the first SMTC and the second SMTC are associated with a non-terrestrial network (NTN), and
the first and second sets of parameters have at least one parameter in common and one different parameter;

receiving a signal to perform a measurement procedure for a second cell associated with a second satellite; and
performing the measurement procedure based on the received plurality of SMTCs, wherein:
each of the first and second sets of parameters comprises a same duration of time that indicates an SMTC window within which at least one of an SSB or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) is detectable by the UE to perform the measurement procedure, and
each of the first and second sets of parameters further comprises a different offset value.
