3GPP 38.211 specifies Bandwidth Parts (BWP) as a

contiguous set of physical resource blocks, selected from a
contiguous subset of the common resource blocks for a
given numerology (µ) on a given carrier. To know basics

BWP Allocation Types

Got it!
Figure below represents the different BWPs types available
for a UE. Considering typical use cases, Idle Mode BWP is
smaller than Connected Mode BWPs.

Three types of BWP are available:

Initial BWP
Active BWP (UE Specific)
Default BWP (UE Specific)

Initial BWP is used to performs Initial Access Process. It

includes Parameters like RMSI (Requested Minimum
System Information), CORESET* and RMSI Frequency
location/bandwidth/SCS. It can be 24~96 PRBs with
different settings and relaxed to wider BWP after RMSI
decoding.

where UE starts data transfer after RRC
configuration/reconfiguration. The very first Active BWP
should be different from the default BWP.

The BWP parameters are used to configure the mobile

Got it!
TS
38.331 for each serving cell the network configures at least
an initial bandwidth part, comprising of downlink
bandwidth part and one (if the serving cell is configured
with an uplink) or two (if using supplementary uplink
– SUL) uplink bandwidth parts. Furthermore, the network
may configure additional uplink and downlink
bandwidth parts.

The bandwidth part configuration is split into uplink and

downlink parameters as well as into common and
dedicated parameters. Common parameters (in BWP-
UplinkCommon and BWP-DownlinkCommon) are “cell
specific” and the network ensures the necessary alignment
with corresponding parameters of other UEs. The
common parameters of the initial bandwidth part of the
PCell are also provided via system information. For all
other serving cells, the network provides the common
parameters via dedicated signaling.

between different bandwidth parts to manage
different power consumption for different data rates.

According to TS 38.321 BWP selection and switching can

be done with different mechanisms as listed below:

RRC-Based Adaptation: It is more suitable for semi-

static cases since the processing of RRC messages
requires extra time, letting the latency reach ~10 msec.
Due to longer switching latency and signaling
overhead, a RRC-based method can be used for
configuring a BWP set at any stage of the call, or for
slow adaptation type services (e.g., voice) where the
resource allocation is not changing rapidly within the
same data session.
MAC CE (Control element):It is used upon initiation of
Random Access procedure
DCI-Based Adaptation: It is based on PDCCH channel
where a specific BWP can be activated by BWP
indicator in DCI Format 0_1 (UL Grant) and Format 1-1
(DL scheduling). This method better fits on-thefly BWP
switching as using this method the latency is as low as
2 msec. However, this method requires additional
considerations for error handling as UE may fail to
decode the DCI with BWP activation/deactivation
command.
Timer-Based implicit fallback to default BWP is a
mechanism designed to mitigate possible DCI errors. If
the UE is not explicitly scheduled with a BWP after the
timer expires, it will automatically switch to the default
BWP.
