Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 4:
5. A user equipment (UE) for handling a switching time period of downlink (DL)-uplink (UL) switching for a half duplex-frequency division duplex (HD-FDD) operation, the UE comprising:
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more computer-executable instructions; and
at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, the at least one processor is configured to execute the one or more computer-executable instructions to:
receive a first configuration for a first active bandwidth part (BWP) with a first sub-carrier spacing (SCS), the first active BWP being one of an active UL BWP and an active DL BWP;
receive a second configuration for a second active BWP with a second SCS, the second active BWP being another one of the active UL BWP and the active DL BWP;
receive a third configuration for the switching time period, the switching time period having a unit of symbol or having an absolute value;
perform communication with a Base Station (BS) on the first active BWP with the first SCS; and
perform, after the switching time period, communication with the BS on the second active BWP with the second SCS, wherein:
the communication on the second active BWP begins at a first starting symbol,
the switching time period begins at a second starting symbol, and
the second starting symbol is determined based on the first starting symbol.
