The user equipment 102 is configured to support carrier aggregation, and the user equipment 102 can be connected to multiple carrier units of the network device 101, including a primary carrier unit and one or more secondary carrier units.

It should be understood that the above wireless communication system 100 can be applied to both low-frequency scenarios and high-frequency scenarios. Application scenarios of the wireless communication system 100 include but are not limited to long term evolution (LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (TDD) systems, global Internet microwave access (worldwide interoperability for micro wave access, WiMAX) communication system, cloud radio access network (cloud radio access network, CRAN) system, future fifth generation (5th-Generation, 5G) system, new wireless (new radio, NR) communication system or future evolved public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN) system, etc.

The user equipment 102 shown above can be a user equipment (UE), a terminal, an access terminal, a terminal unit, a terminal station, a mobile station (MS), a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile terminal ( mobile terminal), wireless communication equipment, terminal agent or user equipment, etc. The user equipment 102 may have a wireless transceiver function, which can communicate (such as wireless communication) with one or more network devices 101 of one or more communication systems, and accept network services provided by the network device 101. Here, the network device 101 Including but not limited to the base station shown in the figure.

Among them, the user equipment 102 can be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (PDA) device, a device with Handheld devices with wireless communication functions, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, user equipment in future 5G networks or user equipment in future evolved PLMN networks, etc.

Table 1

Regarding the BWP handover delay of Type 2, if the BWP handover includes SCS changes, the BWP handover delay is determined by the smaller SCS of the SCS before BWP handover and the SCS after BWP handover.

The two main frequencies used by 5G networks are FR1 and FR2. Among them, the frequency range of the FR1 frequency band is 450MHz-6GHz, also known as the sub 6GHz frequency band; the frequency range of the FR2 frequency band is 24.25GHz-52.6GHz, usually called millimeter wave ( mmWave) frequency band.

In the FR2 scenario, for UEs that only support Type2 capabilities, the BWP switching delay of FR2 is too long.
