Spectrum sharing for a terrestrial-satellite hybrid environment

A system comprising:

• a first user equipment (UE) that communicates with a terrestrial cellular network, wherein the first UE is configured to:
• receive a message that assigns a bandwidth part to be activated for communication with a base station of the terrestrial cellular network, wherein
• the bandwidth part is selected from a plurality of bandwidth parts comprising a first bandwidth part and a second bandwidth part;
• and
• the terrestrial cellular network is a 5G New Radio (NR) radio access technology cellular network;
• perform communications with the base station of the terrestrial cellular network using the assigned bandwidth part;
• and
• a second UE that communicates with a satellite of a non-terrestrial network, wherein the second UE is configured to:
• perform communications with the satellite of the non-terrestrial network using a third bandwidth part, wherein:
• the third bandwidth part overlaps with the first bandwidth part used to communicate with the base station;
• and
• the third bandwidth part does not overlap with the second bandwidth part used to communication with the base station.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to cause one or more processors to:

• receive a message that assigns a bandwidth part to be activated for communication with a base station of a terrestrial cellular network, wherein
• the bandwidth part is selected from a plurality of bandwidth parts comprising a first bandwidth part and a second bandwidth part;
• and
• the terrestrial cellular network is a 5G New Radio (NR) radio access technology cellular network;
• perform communications with the base station of the terrestrial cellular network using the assigned bandwidth part;
• perform communications with a satellite of a non-terrestrial network using a third bandwidth part, wherein:
• the third bandwidth part overlaps with the first bandwidth part used to communicate with the base station;
• and
• the third bandwidth part does not overlap with the second bandwidth part used to communication with the base station.
