Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for avoiding paging interval conflicts in a multimode terminal (MMT) capable of communicating via at least two different radio access technologies (RATs). Certain aspects provide a method for communicating, by an MMT, with first and second networks via first and second RATs. The method generally includes determining a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length of the first network, determining a paging cycle length of the second network, determining—based on the paging cycle length and the DRX cycle length—information associated with a position of a paging interval within the paging cycle length of the second network that avoids overlap between a paging interval of the first network and the paging interval of the second network, and communicating the information to the second network. For some aspects, the information may comprise a set of control channel cycle (CCC) indices.
