1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a base station, from a mobility management entity, assistant information for a first paging scheme for transmitting or receiving one or more paging messages based on a paging parameter configuration related to a coverage level of a wireless device; and
transmitting, by the base station, one or more paging messages to the wireless device based on a paging scheme selected between the first paging scheme for transmitting or receiving one or more paging messages based on the coverage level of the wireless device and a second paging scheme for transmitting or receiving one or more paging messages based on a cell-specific paging parameter configuration, according to the assistant information,
wherein the assistant information includes at least one of a type of the wireless device, an indication as to whether the first paging scheme or the second paging scheme is supported, or a coverage level of the wireless device, and
wherein the type of the wireless device includes at least one of an indication as to whether the wireless device is stationary or nonstationary or an indication as to whether the wireless device is configured to support the first paging scheme,
wherein the first paging scheme is selected upon determination that the base station supports the first paging scheme and the wireless device enables the first paging scheme according to the assistant information provided by the mobility management entity,
wherein the first paging scheme is triggered by the wireless device or the mobility management entity, wherein the wireless device is configured to trigger the first paging scheme by transmitting, to the mobility management entity, an attach request message via a non-access stratum (NAS) procedure, wherein the mobility management entity is configured to trigger the first paging scheme by transmitting, to the wireless device, a detach accept message via the NAS procedure in response to a detach request message sent by the wireless device, wherein the attach request message and the detach accept message are generated based on a mobility characteristic of the wireless device that indicates whether the wireless device is stationary or nonstationary.
