1. A method, comprising:
receiving a request message from a user equipment (UE) by a network entity in a 5G system (5GS) wireless communication network, wherein the request message comprises paging restriction information for the UE, wherein the paging restriction information indicates that all paging is restricted except for voice service;
transmitting an accept message to the UE, wherein the accept message indicates that the network accepts and stores the paging restriction information;
determining whether a downlink (DL) signaling message is subject to paging restriction based on the paging restriction information; and
sending the downlink signaling message to the UE when a paging restriction exception applies to the downlink signaling message, wherein the network initiates a paging procedure for the UE when the DL signaling message is a DL 5GMM signaling message or a DL 5GSM signaling message of a PDU session of voice service.
