Multi-bandwidth operation for a wireless communication system

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• control reception of a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station using a first downlink bandwidth amount;
• during a switching interval following the reception of the SSB, adjust from operation based on the first downlink bandwidth amount to operation based on a second downlink bandwidth amount that is less than the first downlink bandwidth amount;
• and
• after the switching interval, control reception at least one of a downlink data signal or a downlink control signal from the base station, wherein the downlink data signal and the downlink control signal are associated with the second downlink bandwidth amount.

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• initiate transmission of a synchronization signal block (SSB) using a first downlink bandwidth amount;
• and
• after a switching interval following the transmission of the SSB, initiate transmission, to a user equipment (UE), of at least one of a downlink data signal or a downlink control signal, wherein the downlink data signal and the downlink control signal are associated with a second downlink bandwidth amount that is less than the first downlink bandwidth amount.
