Abstract

A method for signaling radio access network (RAN) profile index is disclosed. The method includes transmitting, by a first cell operating on a first component carrier, a first RAN profile indexing message to a user equipment (UE), the first RAN profile indexing message comprising a first plurality of Bandwidth Part (BWP) indicators (e.g., BWP indices) corresponding to a first plurality of BWP configurations, the first plurality of BWP configurations being configured for at least one of a first plurality of component carriers in frequency domain; and transmitting, by the first cell on a first Resource Block (RB) of the first component carrier, a first BWP index, wherein the first BWP index corresponds to a first BWP configuration in the first plurality of BWP configurations for the first plurality of component carriers.
