Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
the UE receiving a message transmitted by a network node, the message comprising bandwidth part (BWP) information comprising a first BWP load indicator for a first BWP, the first BWP load indicator indicating a load status of the first BWP, the first BWP being a first subset of contiguous common resource blocks, the BWP information further comprising a second BWP load indicator for a second BWP, the second BWP load indicator indicating a load status of the second BWP, the second BWP being a second subset of contiguous common resource blocks, and the second subset does not overlap with the first subset;
the UE obtaining the BWP information from the message;
the UE selecting a BWP from a set of BWPs comprising the first BWP and the second BWP based on the obtained BWP information; and
the BWP information further comprising a bit map comprising a set of N bits in which:
N is greater than 1;
each of the N bits corresponds to a different BWP of the contiguous common resource blocks, and
for each bit included in the set of N bits, the value of the bit indicates whether or not the message includes a BWP load indicator for the BWP to which the bit corresponds.
