8. A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
a control circuit;
a processor installed in the control circuit; and
a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving system information from a network node, wherein the system information is indicative of an initial uplink (UL) Bandwidth Part (BWP) of a cell and an initial downlink (DL) BWP of the cell;
performing, on a first UL BWP different than the initial UL BWP, a random access procedure in Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state if the UE is configured with the first UL BWP by the system information;
performing, on the initial UL BWP, the random access procedure in the RRC inactive state if the UE is not configured with the first UL BWP by the system information;
performing, on a first DL BWP different than the initial DL BWP, the random access procedure in the RRC inactive state if the UE is configured with the first DL BWP by the system information; and
performing, on the initial DL BWP, the random access procedure in the RRC inactive state if the UE is not configured with the first DL BWP by the system information.
