Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may configure a bandwidth part (BWP) switching configuration of a user equipment in connection with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover based at least in part on a BWP switching rule; and perform the DAPS handover. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- receive a bandwidth part (BWP) switching configuration in connection with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover,
- wherein the BWP switching configuration is based at least in part on a BWP switching rule associated with a first BWP, associated with a source cell and comprising a first downlink BWP and a first uplink BWP, and a second BWP, associated with a target cell and comprising a second downlink BWP and a second uplink BWP, and
- wherein the BWP switching rule indicates at least one of:
- the second downlink BWP being a subset of the first downlink BWP such that a bandwidth of the second downlink BWP is within a bandwidth of the first downlink BWP, or
- the second uplink BWP being a subset of the first uplink BWP such that a bandwidth of the second uplink BWP is within a bandwidth of the first uplink BWP;
- and
- perform the DAPS handover.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network node, cause the network node to:
- configure a bandwidth part (BWP) switching configuration of a user equipment (UE) in connection with a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover based at least in part on a BWP switching rule associated with a first BWP, associated with a source cell and comprising a first downlink BWP and a first uplink BWP, and a second BWP, associated with a target cell and comprising a second downlink BWP and a second uplink BWP,
- wherein the BWP switching rule indicates at least one of:
- the second downlink BWP being a subset of the first downlink BWP such that a bandwidth of the second downlink BWP is within a bandwidth of the first downlink BWP, or
- the second uplink BWP being a subset of the first uplink BWP such that a bandwidth of the second uplink BWP is within a bandwidth of the first uplink BWP;
- and
- perform the DAPS handover.
