According to some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for receiving paging occasions and synchronization signals in a carrier frequency band comprises obtaining a first paging occasion configuration and a first synchronization signal configuration and determining that a paging occasion specified by the first paging occasion configuration at least partially overlaps in time with a synchronization signal specified by the first synchronization signal configuration. The method further comprises modifying at least one of the paging occasion configuration for the overlapping paging occasion and the synchronization signal configuration for the overlapping synchronization signal to frequency multiplex the paging occasion and the synchronization signal. The method further comprises receiving the paging occasion and the synchronization signal according to the at least one of the modified paging occasion configuration and modified synchronization signal configuration.
