Using Dual-Slot PDCCH Monitoring Pattern for Paging Occasion Coinciding with Synchronization Signal Burst Set

Abstract:

A method by a wireless device (110) is provided for monitoring a physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, for paging messages. While monitoring the PDCCH for paging messages for a group of slots for a duration, the method includes initiating monitoring of one or more first PDCCH monitoring occasions in a first slot according to a first PDCCH monitoring parameter associated with a first monitoring symbol pattern and initiating monitoring of one or more second PDCCH monitoring occasions in a second slot according to a second PDCCH monitoring parameter associated with a second monitoring symbol pattern. The group of slots include at least the first slot and the second slot, and the second slot consecutively follows the first slot. The first monitoring symbol pattern is different from the second monitoring symbol pattern.
