USER EQUIPMENT, COMMUNICATION METHOD (EMBODIMENTS), NETWORK NODE, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR USE IN USER EQUIPMENT AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR USE IN NETWORK NODE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC H04L5/00 H04W72/12 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wireless communication. Said technical result is achieved by the fact that the base station transmits to the communication device downlink control information (DCI) signalling, which includes an indication which relates to the sleep mode state of the secondary cell (Scell). Scell is configured with a plurality of BWPs, which comprises a sleeping BWP and one or more normal BWPs. If the indication indicates a transition from a sleep mode state to a sleep mode state, a target BWP for implementing the sleepless mode state is determined. Determination of the target BWP is carried out in accordance with at least one of the following: a priority order of one or more normal BWPs, a predetermined or pre-configured BWP, a legacy BWP indicator field, a DCI in signaling field, a last active normal BWP and a sleeping BWP.

EFFECT: high efficiency of communication owing to efficient determination of BWP (bandwidth parts).
