`
`domain pattern configured according to the received paging occasion configuration.
`
`2.

`
`the predefined time-domain pattern specifies that the paging occasions are only allowed
`
`to be present in a regular raster within the paging cycle; and

`
`paging occasionsis to be performed.

`
`occasionis includedin said raster time point;
`
`(iii)|a short-bitmap whichis shorter than the numberofraster points in the paging
`
`cycle, the short-bitmap, when cyclically repeated, indicate with each bit for one raster time point
`
`whetheror not a paging occasionis included in said raster time point.

`
`paging occasions are transmitted in a frequency subband whichhasno overlap with a frequency
`
`subband in which synchronization signal blocks are transmitted.
`
`8.
`
`(Currently Amended) Theuser device according to-any-efelatmstte-— claim 1,
`
`wherein the processing circuitry in operation performs reception of the paging signal in the
`
`paging occasions further configured according to a paging occasion calculation specific for the
`
`user device and/or a beam-sweeping configuration set in the basestation.
`
`9.
`
`(Currently Amended) Theuser device according to-any-efelaimstte-8 claim 1,
`
`wherein the paging occasion configuration is signaled by the base station within a broadcast
`
`channel and includesan offset relatively to a beginning of the paging cycle.
