Multiplexing PDCCH paging occasion and SS burst

A wireless device capable of receiving paging occasions and synchronization signals in a carrier frequency band, the wireless device comprising processing circuitry operable to:

• obtain a first paging occasion configuration and a first synchronization signal configuration;
• determine that a paging occasion specified by the first paging occasion configuration at least partially overlaps in time with a synchronization signal specified by the first synchronization signal configuration;
• modify at least one of
• the paging occasion configuration for the at least partially overlapping paging occasion, and
• the synchronization signal configuration for the at least partially overlapping synchronization signal
• to frequency multiplex the paging occasion and the synchronization signal, wherein modifying the at least one the paging occasion configuration and the synchronization signal configuration comprises modifying a page search space configuration associated with the paging occasion by replacing a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) monitoring configuration associated with the paging occasion with a pattern of the frequency-multiplexed paging occasion and the synchronization signal;
• and
• receive the paging occasion and the synchronization signal in the carrier frequency band according to the at least one of the modified paging occasion configuration and modified synchronization signal configuration.
