1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE, a paging message from a network node, wherein the paging message comprises a delayed paging indicator that indicates that a delayed response to the paging message is supported;
responsive to receiving the paging message, transmitting, by the UE, a wait indication to the network node indicating a delay in transmission of a response to the paging message received from the network node;
delaying, by the UE, sending of a paging response, until the channel conditions have improved based on expected power utilization by the UE; and
transmitting, by the UE, prior to receiving an additional message from the network node, the paging response to the network node, when the channel conditions of the communication channel improve based on reduced expected power utilization by the UE.
