Offline discontinuous reception procedure

A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:

• transmitting a configuration that identifies one or more narrowband channels in which a user equipment (UE) is to receive one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) repetitions of a paging message associated with a discontinuous reception procedure;
• transmitting one or more machine-type communication physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) repetitions of control information;
• and
• transmitting the one or more PDSCH repetitions in the one or more narrowband channels identified by the configuration.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• receive a configuration that identifies one or more narrowband channels in which the UE is to receive one or more physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) repetitions of a paging message associated with a discontinuous reception procedure;
• receive, in an online mode of the UE, one or more machine-type communication physical downlink control channel (MPDCCH) repetitions of control information;
• receive, in the online mode of the UE, the one or more PDSCH repetitions in the one or more narrowband channels identified by the configuration;
• and
• process, in an offline mode of the UE, the one or more MPDCCH repetitions and the one or more PDSCH repetitions.
