Capability handling related to per-BWP MIMO layer indication

A communication device comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the wireless device to perform operations comprising:
• transmitting, to the communication network, a first capability indication that indicates that the communication device supports a maximum number of multiple input multiple output (“MIMO”) layers for a serving cell configuration on a carrier;
• transmitting, to the communication network, a second capability indication that indicates that the communication device supports a maximum number of MIMO layers for a bandwidth part (“BWP”) of the serving cell;
• and
• receiving a configuration that comprises a first higher layer parameter associated with the maximum number of MIMO layers for the serving cell and a second higher layer parameter associated with the maximum number of MIMO layers for a specific BWP of the serving cell.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein that are executable by processing circuitry of a wireless device to cause the communication device to perform operations comprising:

• transmitting, to the communication network, a first capability indication that indicates that the communication device supports a maximum number of multiple input multiple output (“MIMO”) layers for a serving cell configuration on a carrier;
• transmitting, to the communication network, a second capability indication that indicates that the communication device supports a maximum number of MIMO layers for a bandwidth part (“BWP”) of the serving cell;
• and
• receiving a configuration that comprises a first higher layer parameter associated with the maximum number of MIMO layers for the serving cell and a second higher layer parameter associated with the maximum number of MIMO layers for a specific BWP of the serving cell.
