Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining linked bandwidth parts. One method includes determining that a plurality of bandwidth parts is activated. The method includes determining that a scheduling resource is configured on the plurality of bandwidth parts, semi-persistent scheduling is configured on the plurality of bandwidth parts, or a combination thereof. The method includes determining a bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts to use for an uplink transmission.
Claims10
A method comprising:
- determining, at a user equipment (UE), a plurality of bandwidth parts;
- determining, at the UE, a set of random access channel resources associated with the plurality of bandwidth parts;
- transmitting, from the UE, a first random access message on a first bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts and a first subset of random access channel resources of the set of random access channel resources;
- and
- receiving, at the UE, a second random access message on a second bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts, wherein the first bandwidth part is different than the second bandwidth part, and a single value in radio resource control signaling indicates that the first bandwidth part is linked to the second bandwidth part.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a processor that:
- determines a plurality of bandwidth parts;
- and
- determines a set of random access channel resources associated with the plurality of bandwidth parts;
- a transmitter that transmits a first random access message on a first bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts and a first subset of random access channel resources of the set of random access channel resources;
- and
- a receiver that receives a second random access message on a second bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts, wherein the first bandwidth part is different than the second bandwidth part, and a single value in radio resource control signaling indicates that the first bandwidth part is linked to the second bandwidth part.
