A user equipment (UE) can report direct current (DC) subcarrier location information for a subset of possible combinations of bandwidth parts and component carriers supported by a base station. In one aspect, the UE can receive, from a scheduling entity, a message for activating a first combination of bandwidth parts (BWPs) and component carriers (CCs) in a list including a subset of combinations of BWPs and CCs configured for the UE. The UE can report direct current subcarrier location information for the first combination of BWPs and CCs to the scheduling entity.
