Paging a user equipment over unlicensed spectrum

A computer readable medium storing computer executable code for paging in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• code executable to receive data destined for a user equipment;
• code executable to determine a short identity for the user equipment relative to a longer global user equipment identity;
• code executable to identify a master information block (MIB) transmission based on the short identity;
• code executable to activate, based on the short identity, a bit within a slot of the MIB transmission to indicate that the user equipment listen for a page in order to receive the data;

A method of receiving a page in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• entering an idle state while camped on a cell;
• waking up from the idle state to monitor a slot of a master information block (MIB) for a paging indication, wherein the slot is dynamically selected and corresponds to a short identity associated with the user equipment relative to a longer global user equipment identity;
• recognizing the paging indication in the monitored slot of the MIB;
• determining a paging window based on correlation information in a system information block (SIB);
• and
• waking up to listen for a page during the paging window.
