Abstract:
An apparatus, method, system and machine-readable medium. The apparatus may be an apparatus of a New Radio (NR) gNodeB or of a NR User Equipment (UE), and may include a memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry for the apparatus of the gNodeB is to: configure a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) associated with respective numerologies; determine a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including downlink control information (DCI), the DCI including information on scheduled resources including BWP index for a data transmission to or from a User Equipment (UE), the data transmission to occupy one of the plurality of BWPs or multiple ones of the plurality of BWPs; encode the PDCCH for transmission; and process the data transmission based on the DCI. The apparatus of the NR UE is to: process a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a NR gNodeB, the PDCCH including downlink control information (DCI) indicating scheduled resources for a data transmission to or from the UE, the data transmission to occupy one or multiple ones of a plurality of BWPs configured by the gNodeB; and process the data transmission based on the DCI.
