1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a communication interface configured to communicate with a scheduling entity;
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled with the communication interface and the memory,
the one or more processors being configured to:
receive, from the scheduling entity, a UE capability enquiry message;
transmit, to the scheduling entity, a UE capability information message in response to the UE capability enquiry message, the UE capability information message comprising bandwidth part (BWP) information of the UE, the BWP information indicating that the UE is capable of using a complementary BWP with a predetermined constraint; and
communicate with the scheduling entity using an anchor BWP and the complementary BWP based on the BWP information,
wherein a first switching time between the anchor BWP and the complementary BWP is shorter than a second switching time between the anchor BWP and a non-complementary BWP.
