Original Abstract Submitted
A disclosure of this specification provides a method for radio communication, performed by user equipment (UE), comprising: establishing a dual connectivity (DC) with both a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell); determining i) a first propagation delay of a first non-terrestrial network (NTN) satellite for the PSCell, ii) a second propagation delay of a second NTN satellite for a target cell and iii) a third propagation delay of a third NTN satellite for the PCell; transmitting, to PCell, a timing offset for the PSCell based on i) the first propagation delay, ii) the second propagation delay and iii) the third propagation delay; receiving, from the PCell, a first MG (measurement gap) for the PCell and a second MG for the PSCell, wherein the second MG configuration is based on the timing offset.
