Paging design with short message indicator

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
• a processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the UE to:
• monitor for a paging downlink control channel comprising downlink control information, wherein the downlink control information comprises a first downlink control information message with a first short message and a second downlink control information message with scheduling information, and wherein at least one of the first downlink control information message or the second downlink control information message comprises a first indicator bit and a second indicator bit that are configured to signal the UE to decode a P-RNTI-scrambled Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) instead of a cell—radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI)-scrambled PDSCH;
• process the first short message;
• and
• process the scheduling information if the UE is not in a connected state;
• and
• ignore the scheduling information if the UE is in a connected state.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for monitoring for a paging downlink control channel comprising downlink control information, wherein the downlink control information comprises a first downlink control information message with a first short message and a second downlink control information message with scheduling information, and wherein at least one of the first downlink control information message or the second downlink control information message comprises a first indicator bit and a second indicator bit that are configured to signal the UE to decode a P-RNTI-scrambled Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) instead of a cell—radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI)-scrambled PDSCH;
• means for processing the first short message;
• means for processing the scheduling information if the the UE is not in a connected state;
• and
• means for ignoring the scheduling information if the UE is in a connected state.

A method for wireless communication by a network, comprising:

• transmitting a first downlink control information message on a paging downlink control channel, the first downlink control information message comprising a first short message;
• and
• transmitting a second downlink control information message on the paging downlink control channel, the second downlink control information message comprising scheduling information,
• wherein at least one of the first downlink control information message or the second downlink control information message comprises a first indicator bit and a second indicator bit that are configured to signal a User Equipment (UE) to decode a P-RNTI-scrambled Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) instead of a cell—radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI)-scrambled PDSCH.
