Multiple active bandwidth parts
Bandwidth parts (BWPs) and other resources for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may use a BWP control procedure and/or a BWP timer management procedure for activating, deactivating, and/or switching BWPs, for example, using multiple active BWPs. A base station may send information comprising one or more fields indicating an action associated with a BWP, for example, if multiple active BWPs are supported. A wireless device may control a first BWP inactivity timer associated with a first active BWP, for example, based on activating, deactivating, and/or switching a second BWP.

activate the first BWP as a primary active BWP of the cell;
based on receiving, via the first BWP, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating the second BWP and a second field indicating activation of the second BWP as a secondary active BWP:
activate the secondary active BWP while maintaining the first BWP as the primary active BWP.
8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
based on receiving second DCI comprising a third field indicating the second BWP and a fourth field indicating deactivation the secondary active BWP:
deactivate the secondary active BWP of the cell.
9. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
monitor, based on the first BWP being the primary active BWP, a downlink control channel using a search space set associated with the first BWP;
determine, based on the monitoring, a downlink radio resource assignment; and
receive, based on the downlink radio resource assignment, at least one downlink transport block.
10. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the second field comprises at least one of: a time resource allocation indicator or a frequency resource allocation indicator.
11. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the second field comprises a value that indicates at least one of:
switching an active secondary BWP from a third BWP to the second BWP; or
activating the second BWP as the secondary active BWP of the cell.
12. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the DCI is based on a DCI format different from DCI format 1_1 and different from DCI format 0_1.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a wireless device to:
receive one or more messages indicating a first bandwidth part (BWP) of a cell and a second BWP of the cell;
activate the first BWP as a primary active BWP of the cell;
based on receiving, via the first BWP, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first field indicating the second BWP and a second field indicating activation of the second BWP as a secondary active BWP:
activate the secondary active BWP while maintaining the first BWP as the primary active BWP.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to:
based on receiving second DCI comprising a third field indicating the second BWP and a fourth field indicating deactivation of the secondary active BWP:
deactivate the secondary active BWP.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to:
monitor, based on the first BWP being the primary active BWP, a downlink control channel using a search space set associated with the first BWP;
determine, based on monitoring, a downlink radio resource assignment; and
receive, based on the downlink radio resource assignment, at least one downlink transport block.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the second field comprises at least one of: a time resource allocation indicator or a frequency resource allocation indicator.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the second field comprises a value that indicates at least one of:
switching an active secondary BWP from a third BWP to the second BWP; or
activating the second BWP.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the DCI is based on a DCI format different from DCI format 1_1 and different from DCI format 0_1.
19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
deactivating the secondary active BWP based on:
the second BWP being the secondary active BWP of the cell; and
a period of inactivity on the cell.
20. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
based on an expiration of an inactivity timer, deactivating the secondary active BWP of the cell, wherein the first BWP remains active as the primary active BWP.
