Patent ID: 11889466
Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions,
wherein the operations of the processor includes:
receiving a system information block (SIB) including paging early indication (PEI)-related information through higher-layer signaling;
detecting downlink control information, DCI, for PEI associated with ‘M’ paging occasions (POs);
determining whether to monitor each PO, based on the detected DCI for PEI; and
receiving paging DCI in a PO monitored by the device,
wherein each of the ‘M’ POs, respectively, relates to ‘N’ sub-groups,
wherein the PO monitored by the device is determined based on a device_ID allocated to the device,
wherein the DCI for PEI includes a first field with a configurable size, the first field being configured with a total of ‘M*N’ bits based on a number of the POs per PEI being ‘M’ and a number of the sub-groups per PO being ‘N’,
wherein the processor is configured to determine whether to monitor each PO based on a bit value of a specific bit related to a specific sub-group to which the device belongs among the total ‘M*N’ bits,
wherein each of the number of the POs per PEI ‘M’ and the number of the sub-groups per PO ‘N’, is respectively determined based on the SIB including the PEI-related information received through the higher-layer signaling, and
wherein an index of the specific sub-group to which the device belongs is determined based on the number of the sub-groups per PO ‘N’ and a modulo operation related to the device ID allocated to the device.
