Abstract

A method for wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes: receiving, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) message that includes a first configuration indicating a first parameter associated with a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second configuration indicating a second parameter associated with a second BWP; receiving, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) having a DCI format, the DCI indicating either a data reception or a data transmission on a BWP, and the DCI including a field indicating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number to be applied by the UE for the data reception or the data transmission; determining whether a bit length of the field is fixed or variable according to the DCI format; and in a case that the bit length of the field is variable, determining the bit length of the field according to one of the first parameter and the second parameter that is associated with the BWP.
