1. A method for a user equipment (UE) for receiving physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs), the method comprising:
receiving:
a first configuration for a paging occasion (PO) over slots in time, wherein the PO includes a number of PDCCH reception occasions, and
a second configuration for a frame offset; and
determining:
a first radio frame associated with the PO,
a number of X>1 PDCCH reception occasions according to a search space set in a common search space (CSS), and
a second radio frame associated with the number of X>1 PDCCH reception occasions, wherein the second radio frame is before the first radio frame by a number of radio frames equal to the frame offset;
decoding a downlink control information (DCI) format in one of the number of X>1 PDCCH reception occasions, wherein the DCI format includes a field indicating either reception or no reception of PDCCHs in the PO; and
receiving PDCCHs in the PO or skipping reception of PDCCHs in the PO based on the indication by the field in the DCI format when the DCI format is correctly decoded.
