Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for paging occasion (PO) allocation is provided. The method includes determining that a PO configured for the wireless device in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle is problematic. A non-problematic PO is selected based on one or more criteria. One or more paging messages are monitored for during the selected non-problematic PO.
Claims17
A method performed by a wireless device for paging occasion (PO) allocation, the method comprising:
- receiving system information from a network node indicating a set of POs configured for wireless devices in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle;
- selecting a first PO configured for the wireless device in the set of POs;
- determining that the first PO configured for the wireless device in the DRX cycle is problematic;
- selecting a second PO configured for the wireless device in the set of POs that is non-problematic based on one or more criteria, wherein selecting the second PO based on the one or more criteria comprises:
- removing the first PO from the set of POs configured for the wireless devices;
- indexing one or more POs remaining in the set of POs configured for the wireless devices after the first PO has been removed;
- and
- selecting an indexed PO based on the one or more criteria;
- and
- monitoring for one or more paging messages during the second PO.
