Downlink communication information and gap configuration for paging early indication

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

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, which are configured, individually or in any combination, to:
• receive configuration information indicating:
• at least one of a first component carrier associated with a paging early indication (PEI) occasion or a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) associated with the PEI occasion,
• at least one of a second component carrier associated with a paging occasion or a second downlink BWP associated with the paging occasion, and
• a gap pattern associated with at least one of switching between the first component carrier and the second component carrier or switching between the first downlink BWP and the second downlink BWP;
• and
• receive at least one of a PEI communication in the PEI occasion or a paging communication in the paging occasion based at least in part on the configuration information.

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

• receiving configuration information indicating:
• at least one of a first component carrier associated with a paging early indication (PEI) occasion or a first downlink bandwidth part (BWP) associated with the PEI occasion,
• at least one of a second component carrier associated with a paging occasion or a second downlink BWP associated with the paging occasion, and
• a gap pattern associated with at least one of switching between the first component carrier and the second component carrier or switching between the first downlink BWP and the second downlink BWP;
• and
• receiving at least one of a PEI communication in the PEI occasion or a paging communication in the paging occasion based at least in part on the configuration information.
