BANDWIDTH PART CONFIGURATION TECHNIQUES FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station and a user equipment (UE) may communicate in a wireless communications system. The base station may select a first bandwidth part from a plurality of bandwidth parts, the first bandwidth part having a bandwidth size corresponding to a traffic burst size for application data traffic within a time period. The UE may determine the bandwidth size using one or more parameters and indicate the bandwidth size to the base station. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may determine the bandwidth size using the one or more parameters. The base station may transmit, to the UE, a control signal indicating the first band-width part having the bandwidth size. The base station may schedule transmission of the application data traffic using the first bandwidth part and communicate the application data traffic with the UE using the first bandwidth part.
