Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, configuration information indicating a set of component carriers (CCs) associated with the UE. The UE may receive, from the base station, a message that activates or deactivates one or more CCs of the set of CCs. The UE may communicate, with the base station, after receiving the message, using one or more activated CCs of the set of CCs over a tuned radio frequency (RF) bandwidth that is based on receiving the message and based on the one or more activated CCs. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Aspects are provided which allow a UE configured with PUCCH repetitions to determine, in response to an indication from a base station to switch carriers for PUCCH transmissions, which CCs of a PUCCH group are configured for PUCCH repetitions, when CCs are configured for PUCCH repetitions, what resources in CCs are configured for PUCCH repetitions, and/or how to count PUCCH repetitions in configured CCs. For instance, the UE may receive a PUCCH configuration from a base station indicating PUCCH repetitions, receive an indication from the base station to switch between CCs in a PUCCH group for PUCCH transmissions, and determine at least one of the following configured by the base station: a subset of the CCs for the PUCCH repetitions, a time pattern of the CCs for the PUCCH repetitions, a resource allocation for each of the PUCCH repetitions, or a count for each of the PUCCH repetitions.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The disclosure discloses a method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and a UE performing the method. The method comprises receiving a downlink control information DCI format, wherein the DCI format is used for scheduling one or more uplink channels or downlink channels; and transmitting the one or more uplink channels or receiving the one or more downlink channels according to the DCI format.
