METHOD, USER EQUIPMENT, ACCESS NETWORK NODE, NODE FOR NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK ACCESS NETWORK

A communication system is disclosed in which a user equipment (UE) receives, from a node of an access network, information for identifying an initial bandwidth part for communication between the UE and the access network in a first part of a communication coverage area provided by the access network, and information for identifying a set of one or more bandwidth parts, each bandwidth part of the set of bandwidth parts respectively being for potential future communication between the UE and the access network in a corresponding further part of the communication coverage area. A next bandwidth part of the set of bandwidth parts is identified, for switching to from the initial bandwidth part as a position of the UE relative to the communication coverage area enters, or approaches, the further part of the communication coverage area corresponding to the identified next bandwidth part.
