Bandwidth part inactivity timer
A wireless device monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of an active bandwidth part (BWP) during a discontinuous reception (DRX) active time. A switch is made to a first downlink BWP as the active BWP during the DRX active time. In response to the switching, a first PDCCH of the first downlink BWP is monitored and a BWP inactivity timer is started. A packet is transmitted via a transmission interval of periodic resources indicated by a configured grant. The BWP inactivity timer is restarted at a time based on the transmission interval. In response to an expiration of the BWP inactivity timer, a switch is made to a second downlink BWP as the active BWP during the DRX active time, and a second PDCCH is monitored.

a first number of first contiguous physical radio resource blocks of the first uplink BWP; and
a first offset of a first physical radio resource block of the first contiguous physical radio resource blocks.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein switching to the second downlink BWP as the active BWP comprises deactivating the first uplink BWP, and wherein the method further comprises deactivating the configured grant of the first uplink BWP in response to deactivating the first uplink BWP.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a base station, at least one message indicating:

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second downlink BWP is a default BWP, and a bandwidth of the second downlink BWP is smaller than a bandwidth of the first downlink BWP.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising stopping the monitoring of the PDCCH of the active BWP after an end of the DRX active time, wherein the end of the DRX active time is based on an expiration of a DRX inactivity timer.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein switching to the second downlink BWP as the active BWP comprises deactivating the first downlink BWP.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first downlink BWP is maintained as the active BWP based on the BWP inactivity timer, of the first downlink BWP, being running.

restart the BWP inactivity timer at a time based on the transmission interval; and
in response to an expiration of the BWP inactivity timer, switch to a second downlink BWP as the active BWP during the DRX active time, and monitor a second PDCCH of the second downlink BWP.
12.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to receive, from a base station, at least one message indicating a timer value of the BWP inactivity timer.
