Abstract
The disclosure relates to a communication device, a base station and respective methods for a communication device and a base station. More specifically, the base station transmits (S) and the communication device receives (S) downlink control information, DCI, signaling. The DCI signaling includes (S) an indication that is related to the dormancy behavior of a secondary cell, Scell. The Scell is configured with a plurality of bandwidth parts, BWPs, and the plurality of BWPs includes a dormant BWP and one or more normal BWPs. If the indication indicates transitioning from dormancy behavior to non-dormancy behavior, a target BWP for performing non-dormancy behavior is determined (S). The determination of the target BWP is performed, in particular, in accordance with at least one of: a priority order of the one or more normal BWPs, a predefined or preconfigured BWP, a legacy BWP indicator field in the DCI signaling, a most recently active normal BWP, and the dormant BWP.
