Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for selectively deactivating a bandwidth part. One apparatus 600 includes a transceiver 625 that receives 805 one or more UL BWP configurations and receives 810 a SL BWP configuration. Here, the one or more UL BWP configurations includes an active UL BWP and the SL BWP is associated with a first numerology. The apparatus 600 also includes a processor 605 that identifies 815 a second numerology of an active UL BWP and determines 820 whether the first numerology matches the second numerology. If the first numerology does not match the second numerology, the processor 605 selectively deactivates 825 one of the SL BWP and the active UL BWP.
Claims20
A method of a UE comprising:
- receiving one or more uplink bandwidth part (“BWP”) configurations for a serving cell, including an active uplink BWP;
- receiving a configuration for a sidelink BWP for the serving cell, wherein the sidelink BWP is associated with a first numerology;
- identifying a second numerology of the active uplink BWP;
- determining whether the first numerology matches the second numerology;
- and
- selectively deactivating one of the sidelink BWP or the active uplink BWP in response to the first numerology not matching the second numerology.
An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver that:
- receives one or more uplink bandwidth part (“BWP”) configurations, including an active uplink BWP;
- and
- receives a configuration for a sidelink BWP, wherein the sidelink BWP is associated with a first numerology;
- and
- a processor that:
- identifies a second numerology of an active uplink BWP;
- determines whether the first numerology matches the second numerology;
- and
- selectively deactivates one of the sidelink BWP or the active uplink BWP in response to the first numerology not matching the second numerology.
