1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for monitoring paging messages, the method comprising:
monitoring, while the UE is in an Idle mode, a physical paging channel (PPCH) for receiving paging messages associated with the UE from a serving radio access network (RAN);
receiving one or more paging messages associated with the UE while monitoring the PPCH;
initiating, while the UE is in the Idle mode, a small data transmission (SDT) procedure;
monitoring, during the SDT procedure, a paging occasion (PO) to obtain one or more short messages from paging downlink control information (DCI); and
refraining from decoding a paging record associated with the paging DCI after the UE decodes the DCI for obtaining the one or more short messages during the SDT procedure.
