DORMANT BANDWIDTH PART (BWP) CONFIGURATION FOR FULL-DUPLEX OPERATION

Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support dormant bandwidth part (BWP) configurations that may be used for full-duplex operation. In a first aspect, a user equipment (UE) in a full-duplex mode may, in at least one symbol, receive a downlink signal in a dormant downlink BWP and transmit an uplink signal in an uplink BWP. In a second aspect, a dormant downlink BWP may be further configured into one of multiple possible resource bandwidths (RBWs), which may include at least one dormant RBW. Each of the multiple RBWs that may be configured in the dormant BWP may be associated with a size and location as well as a set of one or more operational constraints. In a third aspect, a dormant downlink BWP may be further configured into one of multiple possible RBWs, which may include a downlink dormant RBW and an uplink dormant RBW.
