1. A user equipment (UE) communicating with a base station (BS) on a serving cell, the UE comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to:
determine, based on a UE-specific radio resource control (RRC) parameter provided by a UE-specific RRC message or a parameter provided by system information block 1 (SIB1), a transmission bandwidth configuration, wherein the parameter indicates frequency location and size of an initial downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP); and
receive a DL-shared channel (SCH) in an active DL BWP in a carrier corresponding to the transmission bandwidth configuration, wherein:
in a case that the UE-specific RRC parameter is provided, the transmission bandwidth configuration is determined based on the UE-specific RRC parameter, and
in a case that the UE-specific RRC parameter is not provided, the transmission bandwidth configuration is determined based on the parameter.
