1. A method comprising:
transmitting, by a base station to a wireless device, 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,
wherein the RRC message is configured to trigger the wireless device to:
transition from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state while remaining in a connection management (CM) connected state;
monitor, 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, stop the monitoring to receive the paging message.
