Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are described herein for accessing an unlicensed spectrum using portions of a carrier's bandwidth (BW). For example, a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may access a serving cell through an initial bandwidth part (BWP). The WTRU may be configured with a plurality of BWPs within an unlicensed frequency spectrum. The WTRU may then determine any of at least one monitoring period and at least one offset per each BWP. The WTRU may then monitor the BWPs based on any of the at least one monitoring period and the at least one offset. The WTRU may receive at least one signal from the serving cell. The signal may be at least one of a downlink control information (DCI), a synchronization signal block (SSB), a reference signal, or a preamble.
