Claim 10:
11. A device for switching a bandwidth part, applied to a terminal, wherein a base station configures at least one bandwidth part (BWP) for the terminal, and the apparatus comprises:
a processor;
a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a power saving signal transmitted by the base station, the power saving signal being a go-to-sleep signal (GTS), and the GTS being configured to instruct to perform a BWP switching; and
perform the BWP switching based on the power saving signal;
wherein the processor is configured to perform the BWP switching based on the power saving signal by:
in response to the GTS not comprising second information for representing a second designated BWP, determining a second target BWP for returning based on a second setting rule when the terminal is not configured with a BWP inactivity timer, the second setting rule being transmitted by the base station to the terminal through system messages or dedicated signaling; and returning from a currently activated BWP to the second target BWP; and
in response to the GTS comprising the second information for representing the second designated BWP, the second designated BWP being a target BWP for returning and configured by the base station for the terminal; determining the second designated BWP for returning based on the second information; and returning from the currently activated BWP to the second designated BWP.
