Paging early indication location determination

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a configuration of a paging early indication (PEI) for multiple paging occasions (POs) in multiple paging frames (PFs);
• identifying a reference PF from one of the multiple PFs;
• and
• monitoring for the PEI in a location of a PEI occasion determined based on a reference point and a symbol-level timing offset, wherein the reference point is at a frame-level timing offset from the reference PF and the symbol-level timing offset is from the reference point to the location of the PEI occasion.

A user equipment (UE) configured for wireless communications, comprising:

• memory comprising executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the UE to:
• receive a configuration of a paging early indication (PEI) for multiple paging occasions (POs) in multiple paging frames (PFs);
• identify a reference PF from one of the multiple PFs;
• and
• monitor for the PEI in a location of a PEI occasion determined based on at least a frame-level timing offset with respect to a start of the reference PF.
