1. A method of operating a communication device in a communication network, the method comprising:
transmitting, to the communication network, a first capability indication that indicates that the communication device supports a maximum number of multiple input multiple output (“MIMO”) layers for a serving cell configuration on a carrier;
transmitting, to the communication network, a second capability indication that indicates that the communication device supports a maximum number of MIMO layers for a bandwidth part (“BWP”) of the serving cell; and
receiving a configuration that comprises a first higher layer parameter associated with the maximum number of MIMO layers for the serving cell and a second higher layer parameter associated with the maximum number of MIMO layers for a specific BWP of the serving cell.
