The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a user equipment (UE) and/or base station. In one aspect, the apparatus may monitor for a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a paging message. The apparatus may also receive the paging PDCCH including paging downlink control information (DCI), where the paging DCI is associated with the paging message. The apparatus may also receive the paging message, where at least one of the paging DCI or the paging message is received more than once. In another aspect, the apparatus may transmit a paging PDCCH including paging DCI, where the paging DCI is associated with a paging message. The apparatus may also transmit the paging message, where at least one of the paging DCI or the paging message is transmitted more than once.
