Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communication using a user equipment (UE) capability indication to support complementary bandwidth part (BWP) operations. In one aspect, a UE can transmit UE capability information to indicate the ability of the UE to support complementary BWP operations, and the network can configure complementary BWP operations based on the UE capability.
Claims30
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- a communication interface configured to communicate with a scheduling entity;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled with the communication interface and the memory,
- wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
- receive, from the scheduling entity, a UE capability enquiry message;
- transmit, to the scheduling entity, a UE capability information message in response to the UE capability enquiry message, the UE capability information message comprising bandwidth part (BWP) information of the UE;
- and
- communicate with the scheduling entity using an anchor BWP and a complementary BWP based on the BWP information,
- wherein a first switching time between the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP is shorter than a second switching time between the anchor BWP and a non-complementary BWP.
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a scheduling entity, a UE capability enquiry message;
- transmitting, to the scheduling entity, a UE capability information message in response to the UE capability enquiry message, the UE capability information message comprising bandwidth part (BWP) information of the UE;
- and
- communicating with the scheduling entity using an anchor BWP and a complementary BWP based on the BWP information,
- wherein a first switching time between the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP is shorter than a second switching time between the anchor BWP and a non-complementary BWP.
A scheduling entity for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE);
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory,
- wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
- transmit, to the UE, a UE capability enquiry message;
- receive, from the UE, a UE capability information message comprising bandwidth part (BWP) information that indicates a capability of the UE to utilize an anchor BWP and a complementary BWP to communicate with the scheduling entity, wherein a first switching time between the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP is shorter than a second switching time between the anchor BWP and a non-complementary BWP;
- and
- communicate with the UE using the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP based on the BWP information.
A method of wireless communication at a scheduling entity, comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a UE capability enquiry message;
- receiving, from the UE, a UE capability information message comprising bandwidth part (BWP) information that indicates a capability of the UE to utilize an anchor BWP and a complementary BWP to communicate with the scheduling entity, wherein a first switching time between the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP is shorter than a second switching time between the anchor BWP and a non-complementary BWP;
- and
- communicating with the UE using the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP based on the BWP information.
