Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 24:
25. An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or memories, individually or in combination, storing computer-executable instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to, individually or in combination, execute the computer-executable instructions to:
receive a configuration of one or more respective narrow bandwidth part (NBWP) hopping patterns for a plurality of configured NBWPs, each configured NBWP having a bandwidth less than or equal to a maximum configurable bandwidth of the UE, wherein the configuration of the one or more respective NBWP hopping patterns includes a number of hops for each hopping pattern, and a respective hop duration and a respective hop frequency offset for each of the number of hops, wherein the respective hop frequency offset for at least one hop is larger than a bandwidth of a corresponding configured NBWP;
determine an active NBWP hopping pattern of the one or more respective NBWP hopping patterns corresponding to an active NBWP of the one or more configured NBWPs having a nominal NBWP configuration; and
communicate on frequency domain resources for a frequency domain hop indicated by the active NBWP hopping pattern applied to the nominal NBWP configuration of the active NBWP, wherein the nominal NBWP configuration is maintained for each of the plurality of frequency domain hops.
