Non-access stratum connection handling
A wireless device receives, from a non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station, access network information indicating an access network type of a plurality of access network types comprising: a geostationary earth orbit (GEO) access network type; and a low earth orbit (LEO) access network type. Based on the access network type, first non-access stratum (NAS) period among a plurality of NAS period are selected. The plurality of NAS periods comprise: a first value associated with the GEO access network type; and a second value associated with the LEO access network type. A NAS procedure is initiated by sending, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) via the NTN base station, a first NAS request message. A start of the first NAS period is based on the sending. The NAS procedure is aborted in response to an expiration of the first NAS period.

a low earth orbit (LEO) NTN access network type;
select, based on the access network type, a first non-access stratum (NAS) period among a plurality of periods comprising:
a first value associated with the GEO NTN access network type; and
a second value associated with the LEO NTN access network type;
initiate a NAS procedure by sending, to an access and mobility management function (AMF) via the NTN base station, a first NAS request message, wherein a start of the first NAS period is based on the sending; and
in response to an expiration of the first NAS period, abort the NAS procedure.
12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first value is longer than the second value.
13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second value is further associated with a terrestrial network (TN) access network type.
14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the TN access network type comprises at least one of:
a wide-band evolved terrestrial radio access (WB-E-UTRA) type; or
a new radio (NR) type.
15. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising sending, by the wireless device to the AMF, a second NAS request message in response to the expiration of the first NAS period, wherein the second NAS request message is based on the first NAS request message.
16. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising receiving, by the wireless device from the AMF, a first NAS response message prior to the expiration of the first NAS period.
17. The wireless device of claim 11 , further comprising:
