Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first network entity may establish a first user equipment (UE) identifier (ID) associated with pre-paging. The first network entity may transmit, with information associated with the first UE ID, a request associated with paging to a second network entity. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (54)

1 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a first network entity, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the first network entity to:

establish a first user equipment (UE) identifier (ID) associated with a pre-paging configuration, wherein the pre-paging configuration indicates a time and frequency resource assignment for pre-paging and a temporary UE ID, wherein the temporary UE ID corresponds to the first UE ID; and

transmit, with information associated with the first UE ID, a request associated with paging to a second network entity.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein to establish the first UE ID, the one or more processors are configured to cause the first network entity to:

transmit the first UE ID; and

receive a registration complete message.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein to transmit the request, the one or more processors are configured to cause the first network entity to transmit the request in response to reception of a UE context release message.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a pre-paging request.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes a second UE ID and information associated with derivation of the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a pre-paging request.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a paging request.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes information associated with derivation of the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a paging request.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the information associated with derivation of the first UE ID includes one or more of a 5G serving temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI), geographical area information of a UE, a bit map, a masking function, a preconfigured function, or a predefined function.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the first network entity to derive the first UE ID from one or more of a second UE ID, a 5G serving temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI) associated with a UE, geographical area information of a UE, a bit map, a masking function, a preconfigured function, or a predefined function.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the first UE ID is shorter in length than the 5G S-TMSI.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the first network entity to:

maintain a timer associated with pre-paging that starts based at least in part on the request; and

transmit a new request based at least in part on expiration of the timer.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the first network entity to receive an indication of a UE capability to monitor pre-paging, and wherein to transmit the request, the one or more processors are configured to cause the first network entity to transmit the request based at least in part on the UE capability.

13 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the UE to:

establish a first user equipment (UE) identifier (ID) associated with a pre-paging configuration, wherein the pre-paging configuration indicates a time and frequency resource assignment for pre-paging and a temporary UE ID, wherein the temporary UE ID corresponds to the first UE ID; and

monitor for the first UE ID in a pre-paging message.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein to establish the first UE ID, the one or more processors are configured to cause the UE to:

receive the first UE ID; and

transmit a registration complete message.

15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to transmit an indication of a UE capability to monitor pre-paging.

16 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first UE ID is shorter in length than a 5G serving temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI) associated with a UE.

17 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the UE to transmit an indication of a UE capability to monitor pre-paging.

18 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a first network entity, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the first network entity to:

receive a pre-paging configuration with a first user equipment (UE) identifier (ID) wherein the pre-paging configuration indicates a time and frequency resource assignment for pre-paging and a temporary UE ID as the first UE ID;

generate a mapping between the pre-paging configuration and a second UE ID associated with the first UE ID; and

transmit a request associated with paging with the second UE ID and the pre-paging configuration.

19 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the time and frequency resource assignment and the temporary UE ID are associated with a setup time and a validity duration.

20 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the request is a pre-paging request, and wherein to transmit the request, the one or more processors are configured to cause the first network entity to transmit the request based at least in part on an expiration of a timer that starts after a paging request.

21 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein to transmit the request, the one or more processors are configured to cause the first network entity to transmit the request in response to reception of a UE context release message.

22 . An apparatus for wireless communication at a second network entity, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the second network entity to:

transmit a pre-paging configuration with a first user equipment (UE) identifier (ID) to a first network entity;

receive, with information associated with the first UE ID, a request, with the pre-paging configuration, associated with paging from the first network entity; and

transmit a pre-paging message to a UE associated with the first UE ID.

23 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a pre-paging request.

24 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes a second UE ID and information associated with derivation of the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a pre-paging request.

25 . The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the information associated with derivation of the first UE ID includes one or more of a second UE ID associated with the UE, a 5G serving temporary mobile subscriber identity (S-TMSI), geographical area information of the UE, a bit map, a masking function, or a predefined function.

26 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes the first UE ID, and wherein the request is a paging request.

27 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the information associated with the first UE ID includes information associated with derivation of the first UE ID, wherein the request is a paging request, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the second network entity to derive the first UE ID based at least in part on the information associated with derivation of the first UE ID.

28 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the second network entity to select the pre-paging message.

29 . The apparatus of claim 27 , wherein the pre-paging configuration indicates a time and frequency resource assignment by the second network entity.

30 . The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein to receive the request, the one or more processors are configured to cause the second network entity to receive the request in response to transmission of a UE context release message.
