On-demand paging of emergency services

A radio network node, comprising at least one processor configured to process executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving an on-demand emergency paging configuration, directed to the radio network node via a first computing network element, comprising at least one paging occasion group indication, associated with at least one paging group indication, indicative of at least one emergency paging resource to be usable by at least one user equipment corresponding to the at least one paging group indication;
• transmitting, to at least one user equipment, an emergency paging occasion configuration indicative of at least one of the at least one emergency paging resource usable by the at least one user equipment to facilitate receiving at least one paging message during facilitation of at least one discontinuous transmit off period by the radio network node;
• activating a discontinuous transmit off period to result in an activated discontinuous transmit off period;
• receiving an emergency paging message directed to at least one of the at least one user equipment via a second computing network element;
• broadcasting an emergency paging message indication, during the activated discontinuous transmit off period, indicative of the emergency paging message to be transmitted by the radio network node via the at least one emergency paging resource during the activated discontinuous transmit off period;
• and
• transmitting the emergency paging message via at least one non-emergency paging occasion resource during the activated discontinuous transmit off period.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a radio network node, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• transmitting, to at least one user equipment, an emergency paging occasion configuration indicative of at least one emergency paging resource usable by the at least one user equipment to facilitate receiving at least one paging message during at least one discontinuous transmit off period implemented by the radio network node;
• activating a discontinuous transmit off period to result in an activated discontinuous transmit off period;
• receiving an emergency paging message directed to at least one of the at least one user equipment;
• broadcasting, via the at least one emergency paging resource during the activated discontinuous transmit off period, an emergency paging message indication indicative that the emergency paging message is to be transmitted by the radio network node to the at least one user equipment via at least one non-emergency paging occasion corresponding to the at least one user equipment during the activated discontinuous transmit off period;
• and
• transmitting the emergency paging message via the at least one non-emergency paging occasion corresponding to the at least one user equipment during the activated discontinuous transmit off period.
