Technology for a base station is disclosed. The base station can determine radio access network (RAN)-based UE paging parameters for configuration of a UE when the UE is in a suspended state. UE context information for the UE can be stored in a memory of the base station when the UE is in the suspended state. The base station can encode the RAN-based UE paging parameters for transmission to the UE directly or via a core network (CN) node. The base station can generate a RAN-originated paging message for the UE when downlink data is received at the base station for the UE. The base station can encode the RAN-originated paging message for transmission to the UE. The RAN-originated paging message can be transmitted from the base station and received at the UE in accordance with the RAN-based UE paging parameters.
