Abstract
Aspects relate to wireless communication using multiple active bandwidth parts (BWPs). For example, a base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with two or more active BWPs. In some examples, the base station may send scheduling information to the UE on one active BWP, where the scheduling information schedules a communication on one or more active BWPs.
Claims30
A user equipment, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- one or more memories that store processor-executable code;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the processor-executable code and cause the user equipment to:
- receive bandwidth part configuration information from network entity via the transceiver, the bandwidth part configuration information specifying a first active bandwidth part for the user equipment and a second active bandwidth part for the user equipment;
- receive downlink control information from the network entity via the transceiver, wherein the downlink control information indicates that the first active bandwidth part is a main active bandwidth part, and the downlink control information comprises a cross-bandwidth part scheduling indication;
- identify, from the downlink control information, at least one resource in the first active bandwidth part and the second active bandwidth part;
- determine, based on the indication, whether the at least one resource includes a first resource in the second active bandwidth part, wherein the indication set to a first value specifies that the first active bandwidth part carries a scheduled physical downlink shared channel, and the indication set to a second value specifies that the first active bandwidth part and the second active bandwidth part collectively carry the scheduled physical downlink shared channel;
- and
- receive, via the transceiver, information from the network entity via the at least one resource.

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving bandwidth part configuration information from a network entity, the bandwidth part configuration information specifying a first active bandwidth part for the user equipment and a second active bandwidth part for the user equipment;
- receiving downlink control information from the network entity, wherein the downlink control information indicates that the first active bandwidth part is a main active bandwidth part, and the downlink control information comprises a cross-bandwidth part scheduling indication;
- identifying, from the downlink control information, at least one resource in the first active bandwidth part and the second active bandwidth part;
- determining, based on the indication, whether the at least one resource includes a first resource in the second active bandwidth part, wherein the indication set to a first value specifies that the first active bandwidth part carries a scheduled physical downlink shared channel, and the indication set to a second value specifies that the first active bandwidth part and the second active bandwidth part collectively carry the scheduled physical downlink shared channel;
- and
- receiving information from the network entity via the at least one resource.
