Claim 20:
21. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) comprising:
transmitting, in a connected mode for a connection between the UE and a network node of a non-terrestrial network, one or more uplink messages to the network node;
identifying, while the UE is in the connected mode, that a synchronization timer associated with a synchronization of the connection has expired;
transmitting, to the network node, a message indicating that the synchronization timer has expired;
determining, based at least in part on the expiration of the synchronization timer, that the synchronization of the connection fails to satisfy a synchronization threshold or an associated constraint; and
initiating a radio link failure timer based at least in part on performing a location failure recovery procedure and the synchronization timer expiring.
