Method and apparatus for configuring subband aggregation in NR carrier in wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for configuring a data subband in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives an indication of a data subband from a network, configures at least one data subband according to the indication, and performs communication with the network via the at least one data subband. One data subband consists of contiguous or noncontiguous physical resource blocks (PRBs).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of a numerology used for data reception or transmission, a slot length, a mini-slot length, a radio access technology (RAT), or a maximum transport block size (TBS) is defined for each of the plurality of BWPs.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing channel state information (CSI) measurement within at least one of the first BWP or the second BWP.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in communication with at least one of a mobile device, a network, or autonomous vehicles other than the wireless device.
8. A wireless device comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
at least one processor
operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver,
wherein the memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
receiving a configuration for a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), wherein the configuration includes information for a numerology for each of the plurality of BWPs;
receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) including information for a first BWP among the plurality of BWPs;
activating the first BWP based on the information for the first BWP;
performing at least one of a reception or a transmission in the activated first BWP based on a numerology for the first BWP;
receiving a second DCI including information for a second BWP among the plurality of BWPs;
activating the second BWP by performing a BWP switching to the second BWP based on the information for the second BWP; and
performing at least one of a reaction or a transmission in the activated second BWP based on a numerology for the second BWP.
9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of BWPs consists of contiguous or non-contiguous physical resource blocks (PRBs).
10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the second BWP is different from the first BWP.
11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first BWP or the second BWP is configured in a UE-specific carrier.
12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein at least one of a numerology used for data reception or transmission, a slot length, a mini-slot length, a radio access technology (RAT), or a maximum transport block size (TBS) is defined for each of the plurality of BWPs.
13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise performing channel state information (CSI) measurement within at least one of the first BWP or the second BWP.
14. A processing apparatus configured to operate a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the processing apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory operably coupled to the at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a configuration for a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), wherein the configuration includes information for a numerology for each of the plurality of BWPs;
receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) including information for a first BWP among the plurality of BWPs;
activating the first BWP based on the information for the first BWP;
performing at least one of a reception or a transmission in the activated first BWP based on a numerology for the first BWP;
receiving a second DCI including information for a second BWP among the plurality of BWPs;
activating the second BWP by performing a BWP switching to the second BWP based on the information for the second BWP; and
performing at least one of a reception or a transmission in the activated second BWP based on a numerology for the second BWP.
