Methods And Apparatus For Bandwidth Part Configuration In Mobile Communications

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a processor of a network node, a configuration for a cell, wherein the configuration comprises a physical channel or signal configuration across a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) in the cell, wherein the physical channel or signal configuration comprises at least one first configuration, and wherein the first configuration is associated with a BWP identifier (ID);
• transmitting, by the processor, the configuration to a user equipment (UE) through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling;
• and
• transmitting or receiving, by the processor, physical channels or signals to or from the UE according to the configuration.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a transceiver which, during operation, wirelessly communicates with at least one network node of a network;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver such that, during operation, the processor performs operations comprising:
• receiving, via the transceiver, a configuration from the network through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, wherein the configuration comprises a physical channel or signal configuration across a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) in a cell, wherein the physical channel or signal configuration comprises at least one first configuration, and wherein the first configuration is associated with a BWP identifier (ID);
• and
• receiving or transmitting, via the transceiver, physical channels or signals from or to the network node according to the configuration.
