1. A user equipment device (UE) in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising:
wireless communication circuitry configured to communicate with a base station;
processor circuitry configured to cause the UE to:
receive, from the base station, via the wireless communication circuitry, on a downlink channel of a first bandwidth part (BWP), a downlink control message indicating the UE will discontinue monitoring the downlink channel for communications until an end of a duration of time, wherein the downlink control message includes an indication for the UE to monitor a downlink channel of a second BWP after the end of the duration of time; and
discontinue monitoring of the downlink channel until the end of the duration of time, wherein the discontinuing monitoring is in response to receiving the downlink control message.
