Method of receiving paging message, user equipment, processing device, storage medium, method of transmitting paging message, and base station

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• at least one transceiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a wake-up signal (WUS) configuration related to WUS reception;
• receiving an offset value related to a paging occasion (PO);
• performing physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for a paging radio network temporary identity (P-RNTI) in first type paging PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs) which are after a WUS MO, based on detection of a WUS in the WUS MO based on the WUS configuration;
• detecting a PDCCH having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with the P-RNTI based on the PDCCH monitoring for the P-RNTI;
• and
• acquiring a paging message based on the PDCCH,
• wherein the first type paging PDCCH MOs are respectively determined by WUS MOs based on the WUS configuration and by the offset value, and
• wherein, based on failure of detection of the WUS in the WUS MO, the PDCCH monitoring for the P-RNTI is omitted in a first type paging PDCCH MO determined by the WUS MO and the offset value, and the WUS is monitored in a next WUS MO of the WUS MO in which detection of the WUS fails.

A base station (BS) comprising:

• at least one transceiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• transmitting a wake-up signal (WUS) configuration related to WUS transmission;
• transmitting an offset value related to a paging occasion (PO);
• transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with a paging radio network temporary identity (P-RNTI) in first type paging PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs) which are after a WUS MO, based on transmission of a WUS in the WUS MO based on the WUS configuration;
• and
• transmitting a paging message based on the PDCCH,
• wherein the first type paging PDCCH MOs are respectively determined by WUS MOs based on the WUS configuration and by the offset value, and
• wherein, based on the WUS being not transmitted in the WUS MO, transmission of the PDCCH having the CRC scrambled with the P-RNTI is skipped in a first type paging PDCCH MO determined by the WUS MO and the offset value, and the WUS is transmitted in a next WUS MO of the WUS MO in which the WUS is not transmitted.
