Abstract

A wireless device may receive configuration parameters indicating monitoring occasions of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for receiving a first downlink control information (DCI). The first DCI may comprise: a paging early indication (PEI) indicating whether to monitor paging occasions for receiving a second DCI scheduling a paging message; and a tracking reference signal (TRS) availability indication indicating whether a TRS is available. In response to skipping monitoring the monitoring occasions for receiving the first DCI, the wireless device may: determine that the TRS is unavailable, and monitor the paging occasions. The wireless device may receive, via the paging occasions and using a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on the TRS being unavailable, the second DCI scheduling the paging message.

Claims (47)

1. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating monitoring occasions of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a paging early indication (PEI) indicating whether to monitor paging occasions for receiving a second DCI scheduling a paging message; and

a tracking reference signal (TRS) availability indication indicating whether a TRS is available;

in response to skipping monitoring the monitoring occasions for receiving the first DCI:

determine that the TRS is unavailable; and

monitor the paging occasions; and

receive, via the paging occasions and using a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on the TRS being unavailable, the second DCI scheduling the paging message.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein instructions further cause the wireless device to skip monitoring the monitoring occasions in response to the monitoring occasions overlapping with at least one SSB.

3. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein all of the monitoring occasions overlap with the at least one SSB.

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate that TRSs are configured.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or an RRC idle state.

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the TRS is determined to be unavailable based on not receiving the first DCI.

7. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device synchronizes with the SSB for the receiving the second DCI.

8. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit, to a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating monitoring occasions of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a paging early indication (PEI) indicating whether to monitor paging occasions for receiving a second DCI scheduling a paging message; and

a tracking reference signal (TRS) availability indication indicating whether a TRS is available;

in response to the monitoring occasions for receiving the first DCI being skipped by the wireless device, determine:

that the TRS is unavailable for the wireless device; and

to transmit the second DCI via the paging occasions; and

transmit, to the wireless device via the paging occasions and using a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on the TRS being unavailable, the second DCI scheduling the paging message.

9. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the wireless device skips monitoring the monitoring occasions in response to the monitoring occasions overlapping with at least one SSB.

10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein all of the monitoring occasions overlap with the at least one SSB.

11. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate that TRSs are configured.

12. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or an RRC idle state.

13. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the TRS is determined to be unavailable based on not receiving the first DCI.

14. The base station of claim 3 , wherein the wireless device synchronizes with the SSB for the receiving the second DCI.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating monitoring occasions of a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a paging early indication (PEI) indicating whether to monitor paging occasions for receiving a second DCI scheduling a paging message; and

a tracking reference signal (TRS) availability indication indicating whether a TRS is available;

in response to skipping monitoring the monitoring occasions for receiving the first DCI:

determine that the TRS is unavailable; and

monitor the paging occasions; and

receive, via the paging occasions and using a synchronization signal block (SSB) based on the TRS being unavailable, the second DCI scheduling the paging message.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein instructions further cause the wireless device to skip monitoring the monitoring occasions in response to the monitoring occasions overlapping with at least one SSB.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein all of the monitoring occasions overlap with the at least one SSB.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate that TRSs are configured.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or an RRC idle state.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein:

the TRS is determined to be unavailable based on not receiving the first DCI; and

the wireless device synchronizes with the SSB for the receiving the second DCI.
