Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive first signaling identifying a first mode for a network communication procedure, wherein the network communication procedure includes at least one of a paging procedure or a random access channel procedure; receive second signaling associated with the network communication procedure, in accordance with the first mode, that indicates a switch to a second mode for the network communication procedure; and perform the switch to using the second mode for the network communication procedure. Numerous other aspects are provided.

receive, from the network node, second signaling associated with the network communication procedure, in accordance with the first mode, that indicates for the UE to switch to a second mode for the network communication procedure, wherein the second mode is based at least in part on support for the second mode indicated in a system information block (SIB), and wherein the second mode includes a second paging procedure, wherein the second paging procedure is associated with a second P-RNTI; and

in response to receipt of the second signaling, perform the switch to using the second mode.

2 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive, in the SIB, information identifying support for the second mode.

3 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the first mode and the second mode differ with regard to at least one of:

a set of P-RNTIs,

a set of time resources,

a set of frequency resources,

a set of paging occasions,

a set of paging sub-groups, or

a repetition parameter for a paging beam.

4 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

monitor a paging radio network temporary identifier for a paging message or a short message to receive the first signaling.

5 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the first signaling is a downlink control information or a short message that includes a bit indicator identifying the second mode.

6 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the switch to the second mode is based at least in part on at least one of a paging rate, a blocking rate, or a paging delay.

7 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

monitor for a paging radio network temporary identifier associated with the first mode when using the second mode.

8 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the first mode and the second mode are associated with a common paging message in a downlink shared channel.

9 . The UE of claim 1 ,

wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine that a threshold period of time has elapsed for receiving a paging downlink control information or a short message; and

fall back to the first mode.

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

receiving, from a network node, first signaling identifying a first mode for a network communication procedure, wherein the first mode includes a paging procedure, wherein the paging procedure is associated with a first paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI);

receiving, from the network node, second signaling associated with the network communication procedure, in accordance with the first mode, that indicates for the UE to switch to a second mode for the network communication procedure, wherein the second mode is based at least in part on support for the second mode indicated in a system information block (SIB), and wherein the second mode includes a second paging procedure, wherein the second paging procedure is associated with a second P-RNTI; and

in response to receipt of the second signaling, performing the switch to using the second mode.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, in the SIB, information identifying support for the second.

12 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first mode and the second mode differ with regard to at least one of:

a set of P-RNTIs,

a set of time resources,

a set of frequency resources,

a set of paging occasions,

a set of paging sub-groups, or

a repetition parameter for a paging beam.

13 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

monitoring a paging radio network temporary identifier for a paging message or a short message to receive the first signaling.

14 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first signaling is a downlink control information or a short message that includes a bit indicator identifying the second mode.

15 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the switch to the second mode is based at least in part on at least one of a paging rate, a blocking rate, or a paging delay.

16 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

monitoring for a paging radio network temporary identifier associated with the first mode when using the second mode.

17 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first mode and the second mode are associated with a common paging message in a downlink shared channel.

18 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

determining that a threshold period of time has elapsed for receiving a paging downlink control information or a short message; and

falling back to the first mode.

19 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:

receive, from a network node, first signaling identifying a first mode for a network communication procedure, wherein the first mode includes a paging procedure, wherein the paging procedure is associated with a first paging radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI);

receive, from the network node, second signaling associated with the network communication procedure, in accordance with the first mode, that indicates for the UE to switch to a second mode for the network communication procedure, wherein the second mode is based at least in part on support for the second mode indicated in a system information block (SIB), and wherein the second mode includes a second paging procedure, wherein the second paging procedure is associated with a second P-RNTI; and
