1. A method of operating a base station of a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
generating a set of parameters that define a plurality of potential, Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH, monitoring occasions and that define a plurality of paging occasions being associated with a paging frame, wherein the set of parameters include a length parameter that defines a length of each of the plurality of paging occasions as:
a number of potential PDCCH monitoring occasions that is included in a paging occasion, or
a number of beams used to transmit a page during a paging occasion; and
transmitting the set of parameters over a radio interface to a wireless device.
