Abstract
Certain aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes receiving, from a network entity, a configuration for a first bandwidth part (BWP) configured with frequency hopping, determining a frequency location of the first BWP during each of a plurality of frequency hops for the frequency hopping based on a reference frequency location, and communicating with the network entity via the first BWP and in accordance with the configuration.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a network entity, a configuration for a first bandwidth part (BWP) configured with frequency hopping, wherein the configuration comprises a configuration for one or more of a control channel, uplink shared channel, downlink shared channel, or reference signals within the first BWP;
- determining a frequency location of the first BWP during each of a plurality of frequency hops for the frequency hopping based on a reference frequency location and a number of hops in the plurality of frequency hops, wherein:
- the reference frequency location comprises a location fixed over the plurality of frequency hops;
- the frequency location of the first BWP during each of the plurality of frequency hops is determined based on a sequence of frequency offsets from the reference frequency location, each of the frequency offsets being used to determine the frequency location during one of the plurality of frequency hops;
- and
- the configuration for the first BWP indicates at least two of a duration associated with each of the plurality of frequency hops, a time gap between adjacent frequency hops of the plurality of frequency hops, or a pattern associated with the frequency hopping;
- and
- communicating with the network entity via the first BWP and in accordance with the configuration.
