Abstract: A method of dynamically adapt to a minimum applicable scheduling offset value for a UE operated with bandwidth part (BWP) and cross-slot scheduling in a mobile communication network is proposed. At higher layer (L2 RRC layer), the UE receives RRC configuration for a set of minimum applicable scheduling offset values (K0/K2) for downlink/uplink cross-slot scheduling. At lower layer (L1 physical layer), the UE dynamically determines an active minimum K0/K2 value for an active DL BWP or UL BWP based on 1) a one-bit DCI indicator over PDCCH; or based on 2) an active BWP change due to timeout.
