Abstract
The present invention provides an electronic device and method for wireless communication, and a computer readable storage medium. The electronic device comprises a processing circuit configured to: set a first timer used for counting the activation time of a current bandwidth part (BWP) for a user equipment on an unlicensed frequency band; and switch, when the first timer times out, the user equipment onto another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band.
Claims18
An electronic apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- processing circuitry, configured to:
- set a first timer for timing activation time of a current bandwidth part (BWP) for use by user equipment on an unlicensed frequency band;
- switch the user equipment to another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band when the first timer expires;
- set a second timer for timing time during which the user equipment does not occupy the current BWP in an activated state to perform transmission;
- and
- determine whether to switch the user equipment to another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band based on the second timer;
- wherein the processing circuitry acquires the timing duration of the second timer via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
An electronic apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- processing circuitry, configured to:
- set a first timer for user equipment, the first timer being used for timing activation time of a current bandwidth part (BWP) for use by the user equipment on an unlicensed frequency band;
- determine that the user equipment is to be switched to another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band when the first timer expires;
- set a second timer for the user equipment, the second timer being used for timing time during which the user equipment does not occupy the current BWP in an activated state to perform transmission;
- and
- determine whether the user equipment is to be switched to another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band based on the second timer.
