1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
determine a paging occasion of a plurality of paging occasions within a paging frame of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein different sets of UEs monitor different paging occasions within the paging frame;
monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions within the paging occasion of the plurality of paging occasions of the paging frame to determine whether a paging transmission comprising a PDCCH has been received in an unlicensed band from a 5th generation NodeB (gNB) during the PDCCH monitoring occasion;
wherein respective PDCCH monitoring occasions of the plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions correspond to respective synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a plurality of SSBs from the gNB, wherein a first number of PDCCH monitoring occasions within the paging occasion correspond to each SSB of the plurality of SSBs, wherein the first number is greater than one and the first number is configured via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
