US 2022/0046646 A1 · Special Cell Dormant Bandwidth Part Switching

Abstract

A user equipment (UE) may operate on a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) and a non-dormant BWP of a carrier. The UE identifies a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) and a non-dormant BWP of a carrier corresponding to a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) for dual connectivity (DC), receives an indication that an active BWP is to be switched from the non-dormant BWP to the dormant BWP and performs an action corresponding to the dormant BWP.

Dependent claims

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor configured to perform operations comprising:
identifying a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) and a non-dormant BWP of a carrier corresponding to a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) for dual connectivity (DC);
receiving an indication that an active BWP is to be switched from the non-dormant BWP to the dormant BWP;
and
performing an action corresponding to the dormant BWP;
and
a transceiver communicatively connected to the processor.

Classification12 codes

H04W 72/0453
Based on the type of the allocated resource: resources in frequency domain, e.g. a carrier in FDMA
H04L 5/001
The frequencies being orthogonal, e.g. OFDM or DMT: the frequencies being arranged in component carriers
H04L 5/0092
Signalling for the administration of the divided path, e.g. signalling of configuration information: indication of how the channel is divided
H04W 72/23
Control channels or signalling for resource management: in the downlink direction of a wireless link, i.e. towards a terminal
