Abstract
Bandwidth parts (BWPs) and other resources for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may use a BWP control procedure and/or a BWP timer management procedure for activating, deactivating, and/or switching BWPs, for example, using multiple active BWPs. A base station may send information comprising one or more fields indicating an action associated with a BWP, for example, if multiple active BWPs are supported. A wireless device may control a first BWP inactivity timer associated with a first active BWP, for example, based on activating, deactivating, and/or switching a second BWP.
Claims47
A method comprising:
- activating, by a computing device, a primary bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell and a secondary BWP of the cell;
- switching from the primary BWP to a default BWP of the cell as an active BWP of the cell;
- and
- based on the switching to the default BWP and based on the secondary BWP being active, deactivating the secondary BWP.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
- activate a primary bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell and a secondary BWP of the cell;
- switch from the primary BWP to a default BWP of the cell as an active BWP of the cell;
- and
- based on switching to the default BWP and based on the secondary BWP being active, deactivate the secondary BWP.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, configure a computing device to:
- activate a primary bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell and a secondary BWP of the cell;
- switch from the primary BWP to a default BWP of the cell as an active BWP of the cell;
- and
- based on switching to the default BWP and based on the secondary BWP being active, deactivate the secondary BWP.
A system comprising:
- a first computing device;
- and
- a second computing device;
- wherein the first computing device is configured to:
- activate a primary bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell and a secondary BWP of the cell;
- switch from the primary BWP to a default BWP of the cell as an active BWP of the cell;
- and
- based on switching to the default BWP and based on the secondary BWP being active, deactivating the secondary BWP;
- and
- wherein the second computing device is configured to send or receive one or more communications via the default BWP.
