Carrier capability signaling with regard to multiple carrier numerologies

A method of wireless communication performed by a base station (BS), comprising:

• receiving information identifying a capability of a user equipment (UE) relating to a carrier configuration of the UE, wherein the carrier configuration relates to carriers of at least two different numerologies, wherein the information identifying the capability identifies a maximum bandwidth that is supported for carriers of a first numerology and one or more scaling values associated with one or more numerologies other than the first numerology;
• and
• determining a configuration for a communication with the UE based at least in part on the information identifying the capability,
• wherein the capability is based at least in part on:
• the maximum bandwidth capability that is supported for carriers of the first numerology,
• the one or more scaling values associated with the one or more numerologies other than the first numerology,
• a number of receive antennas for a corresponding aggregated carrier, and
• a number of aggregated carriers.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• determine a capability of the UE relating to a carrier configuration of the UE, wherein the carrier configuration relates to carriers of at least two different numerologies,
• wherein the capability is determined based at least in part on:
• a maximum bandwidth that is supported for carriers of a first numerology,
• one or more scaling values associated with one or more numerologies other than the first numerology,
• a number of receive antennas for a corresponding aggregated carrier, and
• a number of aggregated carriers;
• and
• transmit information identifying the capability, wherein the information identifying the capability identifies:
• the maximum bandwidth that is supported for the carriers of the first numerology, and
• the one or more scaling values associated with the one or more numerologies other than the first numerology.
