1. An electronic apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
processing circuitry, configured to:
set a first timer for timing activation time of a current bandwidth part (BWP) for use by user equipment on an unlicensed frequency band;
switch the user equipment to another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band when the first timer expires;
set a second timer for timing time during which the user equipment does not occupy the current BWP in an activated state to perform transmission; and
determine whether to switch the user equipment to another BWP on the unlicensed frequency band based on the second timer;
wherein the processing circuitry acquires the timing duration of the second timer via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
