Bandwidth Part Switching During Random Access

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by detecting the ongoing random access procedure status before executing BWP switching, and preemptively preventing the switching operation that would harm the random access reliability. The UE checks whether a random access procedure is currently ongoing, and if so, blocks the BWP switching action to avoid disrupting the random access process, thus counteracting potential harm before it occurs.

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the state of random access procedures and using this information to control BWP switching decisions. The UE receives feedback about whether a random access procedure is ongoing, and this feedback directly influences whether BWP switching is permitted, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts BWP switching behavior based on random access status.

The patent applies dynamics by enabling BWP switching between non-dormant and dormant BWPs based on real-time network conditions and operational requirements. The system dynamically adjusts the active BWP state according to traffic patterns, load conditions, and service requirements, allowing the network to adapt its resource allocation flexibly without manual reconfiguration.

The patent uses segmentation by dividing the bandwidth into distinct dormant and non-dormant BWPs with clearly defined states and transition rules. This segmentation allows independent management of different BWP states, simplifying the control logic by treating each BWP as a separate entity with specific activation/deactivation conditions rather than managing a monolithic bandwidth structure.
