The disclosure also pertains to related devices or methods. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising: communicating based on a control information message received while operating on a first bandwidth part, the control information message representing a bit pattern, the bit pattern being interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates switch to operating on a second bandwidth part. ### Claim 2 A user equipment for a radio access network, the user equipment being configured to: communicate based on a control information message received while operating on a first bandwidth part; wherein the control information message represents a bit pattern, the control information message representing a bit pattern, the bit pattern being interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates switch to operating on a second bandwidth part. ### Claim 3 A method of operating a network node in a radio access network, the method comprising: transmitting a control information message to a user equipment, the control information message representing a bit pattern, the bit pattern being interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates the user equipment to switch from operating on a first bandwidth part to operating on a second bandwidth part. ### Claim 4 A network node for a radio access network, the network node being configured to: transmit a control information message to a user equipment, the control information message representing a bit pattern, the bit pattern being interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates the user equipment to switch from operating on a first bandwidth part to operating on a second bandwidth part. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the first bandwidth part is smaller than the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a resource mapping type if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a mapping to resources based on a first unit size if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, and to indicate a mapping to resources based on a second unit size if the control information message indicates to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a first resource mapping type if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, and a second resource mapping type if the control information message indicates to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern indicating resources for at least one of communicating and a multi-input/multiple-output configuration, wherein the subpattern is interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates switching from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 10 A computer storage medium storing a computer program comprising executable instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to at least one of control and perform a method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising: communicating based on a control information message received while operating on a first bandwidth part, the control information message representing a bit pattern, the bit pattern being interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates switch to operating on a second bandwidth part. ### Claim 11 (canceled) ### Claim 12 (depends on 2) The user equipment according to claim 2, wherein the first bandwidth part is smaller than the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 13 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the first bandwidth part is smaller than the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 14 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a resource mapping type if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 15 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a mapping to resources based on a first unit size if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, and to indicate a mapping to resources based on a second unit size if the control information message indicates to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 16 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a first resource mapping type if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, and a second resource mapping type if the control information message indicates to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 17 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern indicating resources for at least one of communicating and a multi-input/multiple-output configuration, wherein the subpattern is interpreted differently depending on whether the control information message indicates switching from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 18 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a resource mapping type if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 19 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a mapping to resources based on a first unit size if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, and to indicate a mapping to resources based on a second unit size if the control information message indicates to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part. ### Claim 20 (depends on 5) The method according to claim 5, wherein the bit pattern comprises a subpattern interpreted to indicate a first resource mapping type if the control information message indicates not to switch from the first bandwidth part to the second bandwidth part, and a second
