1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a processor of an apparatus, a paging early indication (PEI) from a network node of a wireless network, wherein the PEI is included in a downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a paging early indication-radio network temporary identifier (PEI-RNTI); and
monitoring, by the processor, a paging occasion (PO) associated with the apparatus in a case that the PEI indicates there being a paging for a subgroup to which the apparatus belongs,
wherein the PEI is associated with one or more POs in one or more paging frames (PFs), and
wherein the PEI is associated with a first number of the one or more POs for the apparatus which is different from a second number of one or more other POs with which a different PEI is associated for another apparatus.
