1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
establishing, by a wireless network, a first bandwidth part to implement wireless communication;
establishing, by the wireless network, a second bandwidth part to implement wireless communication, the second bandwidth part implemented concurrently with the first bandwidth part, and the second bandwidth part non-overlapping in frequency with the first bandwidth part;
assigning the first bandwidth part for use by a first group of user equipment;
assigning the second bandwidth part for use by a second group of user equipment;
allocating a first uplink resource and a first downlink resource within the first bandwidth part for use by the first group of user equipment, the first uplink resource and first downlink resource each specified by a subband within the first bandwidth part and a timeslot, to thereby enable duplex operation of the first group of user equipment;
allocating a second uplink resource and a second downlink resource within the second bandwidth part for use by the second group of user equipment, the second uplink resource and second downlink resource each specified by a subband within the second bandwidth part and a timeslot, to thereby enable duplex operation of the second group of user equipment; and
performing, by a base station, communication with the first group of user equipment using the first bandwidth part and communication with the second group of user equipment using the second bandwidth part.
