Abstract
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay. The one or more baseband processors are to accommodate a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch. The apparatus can include a memory to store the BWP switching request.

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay;
- wherein the one or more baseband processors are to accommodate a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch;
- and
- a memory to store the BWP switching request.
The apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot m, and to perform an active BWP switch to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the uplink (UL) on a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot m+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay;
- wherein downlink slots are offset by a timing advance (TA) value with respect to UL slots, and the one or more baseband processors are to accommodate the TA value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch;
- and
- a memory to store the BWP switching request.
An apparatus of a user equipment, comprising:
- one or more baseband processors to process a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay;
- wherein the one or more baseband processors are to accommodate a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch, and to start the BWP switch at slot n for the downlink (DL);
- and
- a memory to store the BWP switching request.
One or more machine readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by an apparatus of a user equipment (UE), result in:
- processing a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n;
- performing an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay;
- and
- accommodating a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch.
One or more machine readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by apparatus of a user equipment (UE), result in:
- processing a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot m;
- performing an active BWP switch to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the uplink (UL) on a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot m+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay, wherein downlink slots are offset by a timing advance (TA) value with respect to UL slots;
- and
- accommodating the TA value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch.
One or more machine readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by apparatus of a user equipment (UE), result in:
- processing a bandwidth part (BWP) switching request from a serving cell at slot n, and to perform an active BWP switch to a new BWP on the serving cell at a time no later than slot n+Y, wherein Y is a BWP switching delay;
- accommodating a timing advance (TA) value to determine when to perform the active BWP switch;
- and
- starting the BWP switch at slot n for the downlink (DL).
