1. A method performed by 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 method comprising:
receiving 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;
receiving 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;
receiving a third configuration for the switching time period, the switching time period having a unit of symbol or having an absolute value;
performing communication with a Base Station (BS) on the first active BWP with the first SCS; and
performing, 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.
