A wireless device may establish communication with a network node and determine a relationship between transmission configuration indication (TCI) and bandwidth part (BWP). The wireless device may then receive an indication of one of TCI or BWP from the network node followed by determining the other of TCI or BWP based on the indication and using the relationship between the TCI and BWP. Finally, the wireless device may perform downlink communication using the indicated one of TCI or BWP and determined other TCI or BWP. The network node may be comprised in a non-terrestrial network and may specify via RRC signaling the relationship between TCI and BWP for the wireless device. The indication of the TCI or BWP may be provided by downlink control information (DCI), medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), an inactivity timer, or RRC reconfiguration commands.

Provided is a method for operation of a user equipment and a base station in a wireless communication system, including identifying a timing advance (TA) value for transmitting an uplink signal and transmitting the uplink signal, with the TA value identified based on a first value, a second value, and a third value N.sub.TA. The first value is based on a random access response or a timing advance medium access control control element, the second value is derived from higher layer parameters, and the third value is obtained by the UE based on a position of the UE and a position of a satellite connected to the UE.

In a method of real-time network monitoring and location updating, a location report is received by an unmanned aerial system application enabler (UAE) server from a location management (LM) server. The location report indicates location information of a user equipment (UE). A first network event notification associated with the UE is received by the UAE server from a network resource management (NRM) server. The first network event notification indicates a connection status of the UE with a network. In response to detecting a re-connected status of the UE, a second networking event notification is received by the UAE server from the NRM server. The second networking event notification indicates that the UE reconnects to the network. Further, (i) the second networking event notification, (ii) an identity of the UAE server, and (iii) most recently updated location information of the UE from the LM server are recorded by the UAE server.
