Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive, in a first paging occasion, paging information that identifies a data transmission in a second paging occasion subsequent to the first paging occasion; and receive the data transmission during the second paging occasion. Numerous other aspects are provided.

the first paging occasion is shared by a first set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging and the second paging occasion is shared by a second set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging;

a scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is not indicated by the paging information or is based at least in part on a time interval between the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion; or

the one or more processors are further configured to determine a resource for the data transmission in the second paging occasion based at least in part on the paging information.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second paging occasion is consecutive with the first paging occasion in time.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first paging occasion is shared by the first set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging, and wherein the second paging occasion is shared by the second set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a set of monitoring occasions in which the paging information is received, and a data channel occasion in which the data transmission is received, are associated with a same beam configuration.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the beam configuration comprises at least one of a synchronization signal block configuration or a quasi-colocation configuration.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is not indicated by the paging information.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is based at least in part on the time interval between the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion are in different slots.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

determine the resource for the data transmission in the second paging occasion based at least in part on the paging information.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the paging information comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that includes downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), and wherein the data transmission comprises a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that includes a paging message.

11. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE) in a first paging occasion, paging information that identifies a data transmission in a second paging occasion subsequent to the first paging occasion; and

transmit the data transmission in the second paging occasion, wherein:

the first paging occasion is shared by a first set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging and the second paging occasion is shared by a second set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging; or

a scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is not indicated by the paging information or is based at least in part on a time interval between the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein transmission of the paging information in the first paging occasion and the data transmission in the second paging occasion is based at least in part on the UE being capable of cross-paging occasion paging.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the second paging occasion is consecutive with the first paging occasion in time.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first paging occasion is shared by the first set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging, and wherein the second paging occasion is shared by the second set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit, in the second paging occasion, paging information for the second set of UEs, wherein the paging information for the second set of UEs identifies the data transmission in the second paging occasion.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a set of monitoring occasions in which the paging information is received, and a data channel occasion in which the data transmission is received, are associated with a same beam configuration.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the beam configuration comprises at least one of a synchronization signal block configuration or a quasi-colocation configuration.

18. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is not indicated by the paging information.

19. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is based at least in part on the time interval between the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion.

20. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion are associated with different slots.

21. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the paging information comprises a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that includes downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), and wherein the data transmission comprises a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that includes a paging message.

22. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, in a first paging occasion, paging information that identifies a data transmission in a second paging occasion subsequent to the first paging occasion; and

receiving the data transmission during the second paging occasion, wherein:

the first paging occasion is shared by a first set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging and the second paging occasion is shared by a second set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging;

a scheduling offset between the paging information and the data transmission is not indicated by the paging information or is based at least in part on a time interval between the first paging occasion and the second paging occasion; or

the method further comprises determining a resource for the data transmission in the second paging occasion based at least in part on the paging information.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the second paging occasion is consecutive with the first paging occasion in time.

24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the first paging occasion is shared by the first set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging, and wherein the second paging occasion is shared by the second set of UEs incapable of cross-paging occasion paging.
