Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), may receive a configuration of a page monitoring periodicity, and a configuration of a wake-up signal from a network node, such as a base station. The UE may perform discontinuous monitoring for a plurality of wake-up signals based at least in part on a wake-up signal periodicity, and receive the wake-up signal on the wake-up signal periodicity. The UE may then monitor for paging messages to receive paging information, or updates to system information, during a page monitoring period according to the page monitoring periodicity, the wake-up signal periodicity, the received wake-up signal, or a combination thereof.
