Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) switch for balancing between the UE power consumption and a latency of the UE. For example, a UE can be configured to add a plurality of padding bits to a transport block (TB) to reach a predetermined slot capacity for one transmission time interval (TTI) associated with UE traffic in response to determining that a parameter associated with the UE traffic meets a condition. The UE can be further configured to transmit the TB over the TTI to the base station and receive a message from the base station. The UE is further configured to change a time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) based on the received message.

Apparatus and method for time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) switching

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for enhanced inter-frequency detection between misaligned base stations are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may determine that a neighbor cell associated with a first frequency is misaligned with a serving cell associated with a second frequency different than the first frequency based on first measurements of the neighbor cell within a first measurement gap window having a first length. The UE may detect a location of a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with the neighbor cell within a second measurement gap window having a second length greater than the first length. The UE may determine an alignment offset between the location of the SSB and the first measurement gap window. The UE may obtain second measurements of the neighbor cell within a third measurement gap window that includes the location of the SSB based on the alignment offset and parameters of the SSB.
