Method and apparatus for managing a minimum scheduling offset for one or more bandwidth parts

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and operable to cause the UE to:
• receive a configuration for a first default minimum scheduling offset for a first bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell;
• apply the first default minimum scheduling offset for the first BWP;
• switch to a second BWP of the cell from the first BWP;
• apply, in response to failing to receive a minimum scheduling offset value in control information after switching to the second BWP, a minimum scheduling offset for the second BWP, wherein the minimum scheduling offset for the second BWP corresponds to a default value from a set of minimum scheduling offset values configured for the second BWP;
• and
• receive a downlink shared channel transmission a numerical quantity of slots after a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the numerical quantity of slots is equal to or greater than the minimum scheduling offset for the second BWP.

A method performed by a network equipment (NE), the method comprising:

• transmitting a configuration for a first default minimum scheduling offset for a first bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell;
• applying the first default minimum scheduling offset for the first BWP;
• switching to a second BWP of the cell from the first BWP;
• applying, in response to failing to transmit a minimum scheduling offset value in control information after switching to the second BWP, a minimum scheduling offset for the second BWP, wherein the minimum scheduling offset for the second BWP corresponds to a default value from a set of minimum scheduling offset values configured for the second BWP;
• and
• transmitting a downlink shared channel transmission a numerical quantity of slots after a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), wherein the numerical quantity of slots is equal to or greater than the minimum scheduling offset for the second BWP.
