Abstract
A method of operating a communications device configured to transmit signals to and/or to receive signals from wireless communications networks is provided. The method comprises operating in one of an idle state and an inactive state and, when operating in the one of the idle state and the inactive state, receiving, via a broadcasted signal from the wireless communications network, a configuration of at least two bandwidth parts, BWPs, for use by the communications device in transmitting signals to and/or receiving signals from the wireless communications network while remaining in the one of the idle state and the inactive state. Radio resources forming a first of the BWPs at least partially overlap in both frequency and time with radio resources forming a second of the BWPs. The first BWP and the second BWP have a same numerology.
