1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving control signaling that indicates one or more parameters pertaining to reception of paging early indications, wherein the control signaling comprises a system information block, a multicast control channel transmission, or both;
receiving a paging early indication in accordance with the one or more parameters;
determining, based at least in part on the one or more parameters, that at least a part of the paging early indication pertains to a multicast paging message for a group of UEs that is subscribed to one or more multicast services, wherein the UE is one of the group of UEs, and at least a part of the paging early indication pertains to a unicast paging message for a second UE in the group of UEs, wherein the determining is based at least in part on identifying one or more first bits in the paging early indication that indicate the multicast paging message and identifying one or more second bits in the paging early indication that indicate the unicast paging message;
monitoring for the multicast paging message based at least in part on the paging early indication pertaining to the group of UEs; and
receiving a multicast transmission based at least in part on receiving the multicast paging message.
