1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver;
one or more memories comprising instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the UE to:
receive, via the transceiver, an indication of a plurality of bandwidth part (BWP) configurations including:
a plurality of access link BWP configurations associated with one or more BWP-specific access link parameters, and
a single sidelink BWP configuration, different from the plurality of access link BWP configurations, associated with one or more BWP-specific sidelink parameters,
wherein the one or more BWP-specific access link parameters comprise a first parameter and a second parameter, and the one or more BWP specific sidelink parameters comprise the first parameter and a third parameter different from the first parameter and the second parameter, and
wherein a quantity of the plurality of BWP configurations is based at least in part on a common maximum quantity of BWP configurations associated with one or more downlink BWPs, associated with the UE, and one or more uplink BWPs associated with the UE;
receive, via the transceiver and after receiving the indication of the plurality of BWP configurations, an indication of one or more particular BWP configurations of the plurality of BWP configurations; and
perform, after receiving the indication of the one or more particular BWP configurations, at least one of:
access link communication, with a network node, based at least in part on the one or more BWP-specific access link parameters, or
sidelink communication, with another UE, based at least in part on the one or more BWP-specific sidelink parameters.
