TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCING FALSE PAGING RECEPTION

Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support a reduction in false positive paging. In some implementations, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE) from a base station, a paging downlink control information (DCI). The paging DCI message is encoded to indicate an addressee of a paging message or indicates one or more UEs or a location of radio resources of the paging message in a time dimension, a frequency dimension, or both. The method also includes determining, at the UE, whether the paging message is addressed to the UE based on: an encoding of the paging DCI message, whether the one or more UEs include the UE, or the location of the radio resources of the paging message in the time dimension, the frequency dimension, or both. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
