Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of a user equipment (UE) configured for operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G NR) network, wherein UE is configured with two or more secondary cells (SCells) of a group of SCells,
wherein the instructions configure the processing circuitry is to:
monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for detection of a downlink control information (DCI) format 1_1;
interpret the DCI format 1_1 as indicating SCell dormancy if the UE is configured with resourceAllocationType1 and if all bits of a frequency domain resource assignment field in the DCI format 1_1 are equal to 1; and
interpret the DCI format 1_1 as scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception when either the UE is not configured with the resourceAllocationType1 or when all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field in the DCI format 1_1 are not equal to 1,
wherein when the DCI format 1_1 is interpreted as indicating SCell dormancy, the processing circuitry is configured to:
interpret fields of the DCI format 1_1 as a bitmap for SCell dormancy indication; and
either activate or deactivate a downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) for an SCell of the group of configured SCells when indicated by the bitmap.
