1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive, for a cell:
first information indicating first slots with uplink (UL), downlink (DL), or flexible (F) symbols associated with a first bandwidth (BW), and
second information indicating second slots with UL, DL, or F symbols associated with a second BW, wherein the second slots are a subset of the first slots; and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine:
a first direction for a first set of symbols of the first slots based on the first information, and
a second direction for a second set of symbols of the second slots based on the first information and the second information,
wherein:
the transceiver is further configured to:
transmit or receive over the first set of symbols or over the second set of symbols, and
receive information for:
a first frequency offset from a reference frequency to a first resource block (RB) of the first BW,
a first length of a first number of RBs indicating RBs of the first BW,
a second frequency offset from the reference frequency to a first RB of the second BW, and
a second length of a second number of RBs indicating RBs of the second BW, and
the processor is further configured to determine the second direction for the second set of symbols associated with RBs of the second BW.
