Main impact > UE- consumes less battery power in idle mode and there
are less active UEs which network have to handle. Fast going to inactivity
has drawback of longer connection setup time (transition idle<->connected)

One Paging Occasion (PO) is a subframe where there may be P-RNTI
transmitted on PDCCH addressing the paging message
One Paging Frame (PF) is one Radio Frame, which may contain one or
multiple Paging Occasion(s)
When DRX is used the UE needs only to monitor one PO per DRX cycle

Referred as T in 36.304 occasions within one paging DRX duration, which in

The cell specific DRX cycle length Tsib is broadcasted by System Information (PCCH-
Config parameter defaultPagingCycle (in number of radio frames)
The UE specific DRX cycle length Tue might be received from core network from S1AP

The used paging DRX Cycle T (in number of radio frames) is set to: T=MIN(Tue,Tsib).
(Referred to as ' T ' in 3GPP TS 36.304)
The relationship paging occasions - radio frame is given by the parameter pagingNb
provided in System Information (PCCH-Config parameter pagingNb). nB shall be interpreted
as a calculation formula (how to derive paging occasions from T). For better understanding,
the result of the calculation formula nB will be written as nB(T) in this section.
Example: quarterT denotes nB(T)= 1/4*T (there is 1 paging occasion in every 4th radio
frame).
The factor (T div N) gives the distance of radio frames with paging occasions. The
calculation of the factor (T div N) is 2(i-k).
The factor (UE_ID mod N) gives a relative index of a radio frame with paging occasions
inside a Paging DRX cycle. The calculation of factor (UE_ID mod N) is a simple mask
operation for the last k bits.
The product (T div N)*(UE_ID mod N) gives the relative position of a radio frame with
paging occasions relative to the start of a Paging_DRX cycle.
(SFN mod T) provides a SFN numbering relative to the start of a Paging-DRX cycle. The
calculation of factor (SFN mod T) is a simple mask operation for the last i bits.
Assumptions:
Occasion T (Paging DRX)
PO
Simplified case (*to be shown in the picture) as the Tue is smaller than allowed by 3GPP.

Start of DRX cycle is linked to SFN + offset (see backup slides)

UE monitors PDCCH for UL and DL grants
UE is DRX active according to 3GPP TS36.321:
The On Duration Timer or the DRX Inactivity Timer or a DRX Retransmission Timer or the Contention
Resolution Timer is running (see next slides)
A Scheduling Request sent on PUCCH is pending
An UL grant for a pending HARQ retransmission can occur

received after successful reception of a Random Access Response for the signaled preamble

UL out-of-sync handling:
By using a very long setting for DRX cycle the UE is going out-of-sync (the time alignment is
stopped some time after the UE has finished the data transmission)
In out-of-sync UE releases dedicated resources on PUCCH
The transition back to UL in-sync is done via Random Access procedure
The choice to which UEs to apply the extended DRX setting could be set with
applyOutOfSyncState parameter
UEs with established GBR bearers are always kept UL in-Sync

It should be avoided that UEs are being sent to RRC_IDLE immediately after UL

For each case when specific UE shall be paged in, the next appropriate
radio frame and sub-frame for sending the corresponding RRC PAGING
message can be derived from:
N MIN (T , nBT )
The UE Identity Index Value IE (UE_ID) is provided in the S1AP: PAGING
message. The Paging Group Count on radio frame level (N) that is
calculated from T and nB(T):
.. N s MAX (1, nB T / T )
As the nB values fourT and twoT are not supported N is always nB(T).
The number of sub-frames used for paging per radio frame (Ns) (only for
those radio frames used for paging). As the nB values fourT and twoT are
not supported in RL20, Ns =1 is valid for all cases. Generally:
The SFN of the radio frame for paging shall be calculated based on the
following formula give by [3GPP 36.304]:
The sub frame number is given by chapter 7.2 of [3GPP 36.304]. Since
Ns==1 is valid for all cases in the current release, the sub frame number
shall always be set to 9 for FDD.
