Abstract

A wireless device may receive configuration parameters indicating monitoring occasions for 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 the first DCI may comprise a tracking reference signal (TRS) availability indication indicating whether a TRS is available. Based on determining not to monitor the monitoring occasions for the first DCI, the wireless device may determine that the TRS is unavailable and the wireless device may monitor the paging occasions for the second DCI.

Claims (42)

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 for 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; and

based on determining not to monitor the monitoring occasions for the first DCI:

determine that the TRS is unavailable; and

monitor the paging occasions for the second DCI.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, via the paging occasions, the second DCI scheduling the paging message.

3. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the second DCI is received using a synchronization signal block (SSB).

4. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the determining not to monitor comprises skipping monitoring the monitoring occasions for the first DCI.

5. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the determining is in response to the monitoring occasions overlapping with at least one synchronization signal block (SSB).

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

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

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

9. 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 for a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:

a paging early indication (PEI) indicating whether the wireless device is 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; and

based on determining that the wireless device is not monitoring the monitoring occasions for the first DCI:

determine that the TRS is unavailable; and

transmit the second DCI via the paging occasions.

10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the second DCI is transmitted using a synchronization signal block (SSB).

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the determining that the wireless device is not monitoring comprises determining that the wireless device skips monitoring the monitoring occasions for the first DCI.

12. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the determining is in response to the monitoring occasions overlapping with at least one synchronization signal block (SSB).

13. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or an RRC idle state.

14. 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 for 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; and

based on determining not to monitor the monitoring occasions for the first DCI:

determine that the TRS is unavailable; and

monitor the paging occasions for the second DCI.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, via the paging occasions, the second DCI scheduling the paging message.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the second DCI is received using a synchronization signal block (SSB).

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining not to monitor comprises skipping monitoring the monitoring occasions for the first DCI.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining is in response to the monitoring occasions overlapping with at least one synchronization signal block (SSB).

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate that TRSs are configured.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the wireless device is in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or an RRC idle state.
