Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments herein disclose a method of handling BWP configurations for a RACH procedure in a wireless network. The method includes configuring, by a BS, a BWP configuration comprising RACH resource for each BWP in a set of BWPs for the RACH procedure. Further, the method includes indicating, by the BS, the RACH resource for each of the BWPs in the set of BWPs to a UE in the wireless network.
Claims20
A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration comprising a random access channel (RACH) resource for each BWP in a set of BWPs for a RACH procedure from a base station (BS);
- performing the RACH procedure on a selected BWP from the set of BWPs using the RACH resource for the selected BWP indicated in the BWP configuration;
- and
- receiving a random access response message on the selected BWP from the BS.
A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- configure a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration comprising a random access channel (RACH) resource for each BWP in a set of BWPs for an RACH procedure;
- and
- indicate the RACH resource for each of the BWPs in the set of BWPs to a user equipment (UE).
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- receive a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration comprising a random access channel (RACH) resource for each BWP in a set of BWPs for a RACH procedure from a base station (BS);
- perform the RACH procedure on a selected BWP from the set of BWPs using the RACH resource for the selected BWP indicated in the BWP configuration;
- and
- receive a random access response message on the selected BWP from the BS.
