Patent ID: 11664942

Abstract:
A method by a base station includes transmitting, via a first cell operating on a first component carrier, a first radio access network (RAN) profile indexing message to a user equipment (UE), the first RAN profile indexing message comprising a first plurality of Bandwidth Part (BWP) indices corresponding to a first plurality of BWP configurations, transmitting, via the first cell on a first resource block (RB) of a default BWP of the first component carrier, a first BWP index to the UE, the first BWP index corresponding to a first BWP configuration of the first plurality of BWP configurations. The at least one of the first plurality of BWP configurations includes a BWP index associated with the corresponding BWP configuration, and a frequency location of the corresponding BWP configuration, a bandwidth in the frequency domain, a transmission type, and one or more periodic resource allocations associated with the transmission type.
