Abstract
Wireless communications for paging are described. A wireless device may use a subset of beams, among a plurality of beams, to communicate with a base station during a connected state. After a connection release, at least one beam of the subset of beams may be used for paging associated with the wireless device.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- communicating, by a base station, with a wireless device via a first subset of beams of a plurality of beams of a cell, wherein a second subset of beams of the plurality of beams of the cell is not configured for the wireless device during the communicating;
- sending, to the wireless device and after the communicating, an indication of a connection release;
- and
- after the sending the indication of the connection release and prior to sending a paging message via the second subset of beams, sending, via at least one beam of the first subset of beams, a paging message for causing radio resource control (RRC) connection with the wireless device.

A method comprising:
- communicating, by a wireless device, with a base station via a first subset of beams of a plurality of beams of a cell, wherein a second subset of beams of the plurality of beams of the cell is not configured for the wireless device during the communicating;
- receiving, from the base station and after the communicating, an indication of a connection release;
- and
- after the receiving the indication of the connection release and prior to receiving a paging message via the second subset of beams, receiving, via at least one beam of the first subset of beams, a paging message for causing radio resource control (RRC) connection with the base station.
1 more element
A base station comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:
- communicate with a wireless device via a first subset of beams of a plurality of beams of a cell, wherein a second subset of beams of the plurality of beams of the cell is not configured for the wireless device during the communication with the wireless device;
- send, to the wireless device and after the communication with the wireless device, an indication of a connection release;
- and
- after sending the indication of the connection release and prior to sending a paging message via the second subset of beams, send, via at least one beam of the first subset of beams, a paging message for causing radio resource control (RRC) connection with the wireless device.
