Paging early indications in non-terrestrial networks

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate a connection release message via a first beam to release a connection between the UE and a network entity. The UE may obtain an indication associated with a second beam of a non-terrestrial network entity indicating a set of one or more beams associated with a paging early indication. The UE may monitor for the PEI paging message based on whether the first beam is included in the set of one or more beams. Alternatively, the UE may skip monitoring for the PEI based on the first beam being excluded from the set of one or more beams, and the UE may monitor for a paging message during a paging occasion. In some examples, the UE may receive a message indicating the set of one or more beams from the non-terrestrial network entity.
