Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to defining a bandwidth part (BWP) within an operating bandwidth, and sub-BWPs within the BWP, where the sub-BWPs can be used for scheduling frequency-hopping transmissions. As one example, a base station may schedule frequency-hopping transmissions using two or more sub-BWPs. The base station may configure a portion of an operating bandwidth to serve as a BWP used for communicating with a UE over the wireless communication network, define two or more sub-BWPs at different frequency locations within the BWP, each sub-BWP including resource blocks provided in the BWP, and provide a scheduling gap when a frequency hop is scheduled between two or more sub-BWPs at the UE, wherein the scheduling gap accommodates radio frequency retuning at the UE.
