Paging configuration in beamformed wireless communications

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a paging configuration may be provided by a base station that indicates one or more occasions during which a user equipment (UE) is to monitor for pages. A location of the paging occasion may be based at least in part on at least one synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by the base station. A mapping between a paging occasion index and the location of the paging occasion is indicated in the paging configuration. Paging windows may be configured during downlink slots that contain an SSB transmission. Paging transmissions may use beamforming parameters that are the same as SSB transmission beamforming parameters.
