Solutions pertaining to spectrum sharing in coordination between a non-terrestrial network (NTN) and a terrestrial network (TN) are proposed. An apparatus implemented in a UE measures a signal strength of each of one or more TN cells and one or more NTN cells. The apparatus reports a result of the measuring to a TN. The apparatus also receives an indication from the TN configuring and activating a bandwidth part (BWP) that separates transmission by a base station of the TN from NTN downlink (DL) transmissions.
