1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
determining a virtual bandwidth part (BWP) in which to frequency hop from a first narrow BWP to a second narrow BWP by a frequency offset, wherein the virtual BWP has a same subcarrier spacing as the first narrow BWP, and wherein a bandwidth of the virtual BWP is larger than a bandwidth of the first narrow BWP; and
performing communication based at least in part on frequency hopping within the virtual BWP.
