1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
memory comprising computer-executable instructions; and
one or more processors configured to, individually or collectively, execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a network entity via a master information block, a configuration for a first downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP), a first control resource set (CORESET) configured on the first DL BWP, and one or more first search space (SS) sets within the first CORESET, wherein the UE comprises a UE of a first type having a first set of capabilities, and wherein the first CORESET and the first SS sets are configured for use by UEs of the first type and UEs of a second type having a second set of capabilities;
receive, from the network entity via system information on the first DL BWP, a configuration for a second DL BWP, a second CORESET configured on the second DL BWP, and one or more second SS sets within the second CORESET configured on a second DL BWP, wherein the configuration for the second DL BWP indicates at least one of:
a location, numerology and bandwidth of the second DL BWP;
that the second CORESET and second SS sets are configured for at least one of idle mode or inactive mode procedures in the second DL BWP;
a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration;
a criteria for measurements relaxation; or
configuration information for one or more DL reference signals transmitted in the second DL BWP; and
perform one or more of a cell selection or cell re-selection procedure, based on signaling received on the second DL BWP, while the UE is in an idle state or an inactive state, wherein the second DL BWP is configured for dedicated use by UEs of the first type.
