1. A method of wireless communication, comprising, at a user equipment (UE):
receiving a configuration of one or more respective narrow bandwidth part (NBWP) hopping patterns for each of a plurality of configured NBWPs, each configured NBWP having a bandwidth less than or equal to a maximum configurable bandwidth of the UE, wherein the configuration of the one or more respective NBWP hopping patterns includes a number of hops for each hopping pattern, and a respective hop duration and a respective hop frequency offset for each of the number of hops, wherein the respective hop frequency offset for at least one hop is larger than a bandwidth of a corresponding configured NBWP;
determining an active NBWP hopping pattern of the one or more respective NBWP hopping patterns corresponding to an active NBWP of the one or more configured NBWPs having a nominal NBWP configuration; and
communicating on frequency domain resources for each of a plurality of frequency domain hops indicated by the active NBWP hopping pattern applied to the nominal NBWP configuration of the active NBWP, wherein the nominal NBWP configuration is maintained for each of the plurality of frequency domain hops.
