1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message to transition the wireless device from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state, the RRC message indicating a time period in which the wireless device is reachable by paging;
transitioning, by the wireless device and in response to the RRC message, from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state while remaining in a connection management (CM) connected state;
monitoring, in the RRC inactive state, to receive a paging message during the time period after the transitioning; and
in response to an expiration of the time period, stopping the monitoring to receive the paging message.
