Abstract

Computer-readable media storing instructions for wireless communications are described. The instructions enable paging early indication using paging sub-groups. Control information indicates paging sub-group(s) for a paging occasion. A control channel is monitored by a wireless device in the paging occasion in response to the paging sub-group(s) comprising a first paging sub-group associated with the wireless device.

Claims (46)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

receiving, by a wireless device, system information indicating:

a first number of paging sub-groups; and

a time offset associated with a paging early indication (PEI) occasion;

wherein:

the wireless device is associated with a first paging sub-group based on the first number and a wireless device identifier; and

a time location of the PEI occasion based on the time offset;

receiving, based on monitoring a control channel in the PEI occasion, a downlink control information indicating one or more paging sub-groups for a paging occasion;

monitoring a control channel in the paging occasion in response to the one or more paging sub-groups comprising the first paging sub-group; and

receiving paging information.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the system information is via a system information block 1 (SIB1) message.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the paging information is in response to receiving first control information and is based on the paging occasion.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the first control information is associated with a paging radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein:

the system information further indicates:

a second number of paging frames in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle; and

a third number of paging occasions for a paging frame; and

the paging occasion is based on the second number and the third number.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 5 , wherein the wireless device is associated with the first paging sub-group further based on the second number and the third number.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the time location of the PEI occasion is prior to a timing of the paging occasion.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information comprises a field with a value indicating the first paging sub-group for the paging occasion.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), associated with the downlink control information, is associated with paging early indication.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the downlink control information is based on a search space associated with paging early indication.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

transmitting, by a base station, system information indicating:

a first number of paging sub-groups; and

a time offset associated with a paging early indication (PEI) occasion;

transmitting, based on the PEI occasion, a downlink control information indicating one or more paging sub-groups for a paging occasion;

wherein:

a time location of the PEI occasion is based on the time offset;

the one or more paging sub-groups comprise a first paging sub-group; and

a wireless device is associated with the first paging sub-group based on the first number and a wireless device identifier; and

transmitting paging information associated with the wireless device based on the one or more paging sub-groups comprising the first paging sub-group.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting the system information is via a system information block 1 (SIB1) message.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting the paging information is in response to transmitting first control information and is based on the paging occasion.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first control information is associated with a paging radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein:

the system information further indicates:

a second number of paging frames in a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle; and

a third number of paging occasions for a paging frame; and

the paging occasion is based on the second number and the third number.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the wireless device is associated with the first paging sub-group further based on the second number and the third number.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the time location of the PEI occasion is prior to a timing of the paging occasion.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information comprises a field with a value indicating the first paging sub-group for the paging occasion.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), associated with the downlink control information, is associated with paging early indication.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the transmitting the downlink control information is based on a search space associated with paging early indication.
