Techniques for bandwidth part hopping over multiple component carriers in wireless communications

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the memory and the transceiver, wherein the instructions are executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• configure multiple component carriers (CCs) for communicating with a user equipment (UE);
• communicate, with the UE, in a first bandwidth part (BWP) within a first one of the multiple CCs during a first time period;
• and
• communicate, with the UE and based on a hopping pattern, in a second BWP within a second one of the multiple CCs during a second time period.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving, by a user equipment, an indication of multiple component carriers (CCs) configured for communicating with a base station;
• communicating, with the base station and based on the indication, in a first bandwidth part (BWP) within a first one of the multiple CCs during a first time period;
• and
• communicating, with the base station and based on the indication and a hopping pattern, in a second BWP within a second one of the multiple CCs during a second time period.
