1. A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
determining a set of paging cycles for receiving paging information;
receiving configuration information indicating how to interpret a paging early indicator (PEI) to determine whether to receive a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) after the PEI is received, wherein the configuration information is received in a radio resource control (RRC) release message;
receiving the PEI, wherein:
the PEI provides an implicit indication to receive the paging PDCCH based on the configuration information; and
the PEI includes:
an indication to the UE whether the paging information will be transmitted in one or more paging cycles of the set of paging cycles; and
additional information related to receiving the paging information, wherein the additional information comprises:
a short message in the PEI; and
a short message indicator, separate from the short message, indicating whether the UE should receive the paging information in the one or more paging cycles;
determining to receive the paging PDCCH based on the implicit indication provided by the PEI and the configuration information;
receiving the paging PDCCH based on the determination to receive the paging PDCCH, wherein the paging PDCCH also indicates whether the paging information will be transmitted in one or more paging cycles of the set of paging cycles;
receiving, based on the PEI, at least one of a first number of a number of synchronization signal block (SSB) bursts or a second number of reference signal (RS) occasions, wherein at least one of the first number of SSB bursts or the second number of RS occasions is based on downlink channel conditions associated with the UE; and
receiving, after receiving the first number of SSB burst or the second number of RS occasions, the paging information in the one or more paging cycles indicated by the PEI and the paging PDCCH, wherein:
receiving the paging information is based on a paging starting configuration associated with the PEI; and
the paging starting configuration indicates a plurality of consecutive paging cycles, of the set of paging cycles, in which to receive the paging information, the plurality of consecutive paging cycles starting from a paging cycle in which the PEI is received.
