1. A base station associated with a first radio access network (RAN) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors being configured to:
receive, at a centralized unit (CU) of the base station, first beam-related paging assistance information (BPAI) regarding a first user equipment (UE), the first BPAI comprising information indicating at least one of one or more first transmission and reception points (TRPs), one or more first synchronization signal block (SSB) indices, or one or more first SSB beams corresponding to a potential location of the first UE;
communicate, from the CU of the base station, the first BPAI to a distributed unit (DU) of the base station for paging the first UE; and
page, from the DU of the base station, the first UE in the potential location based at least in part on the first BPAI.
