1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining, by a first user equipment (UE) based on a frequency subband offset pattern, a frequency hopping pattern for a paging occasion window (POW) in a plurality of frequency subbands within a shared radio frequency band; and
monitoring, by the first UE, for a paging message from a network unit in the POW, wherein the monitoring comprises hopping from at least a first frequency subband of the plurality of frequency subbands to a second frequency subband of the plurality of frequency subbands based on the frequency hopping pattern;
wherein the determining the frequency hopping pattern comprises:
determining, by the first UE, the frequency hopping pattern based on the frequency subband offset pattern for a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions within the POW and at least one of an initial bandwidth part (BWP) or an initial BWP hopping pattern.
