Dynamic bandwidth part switching for full duplex operation in unpaired spectrum

A method for wireless communications at a network entity, comprising:

• receiving an indication of a capability of a user equipment (UE) to operate in a full duplex mode on a single carrier in an unpaired radio frequency spectrum based at least in part on a first bandwidth part configuration, the indication further indicating that the UE is capable of dynamically switching bandwidth part configurations;
• transmitting an indication of a second bandwidth part configuration for one or more slots of a plurality of slots based at least in part on receiving the indication of the capability of the UE, the second bandwidth part configuration comprising a configuration associated with an uplink bandwidth part and a downlink bandwidth part;
• and
• communicating with the UE according to the second bandwidth part configuration in the one or more slots of the plurality of slots based at least in part on transmitting the indication of the second bandwidth part configuration.

An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor,
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit an indication of a capability of the UE to operate in a full duplex mode on a single carrier in an unpaired radio frequency spectrum based at least in part on a first bandwidth part configuration, the indication further indicating that the UE is capable of dynamically switching bandwidth part configurations;
• receive an indication of a second bandwidth part configuration for one or more slots of a plurality of slots based at least in part on transmitting the indication of the capability of the UE, the second bandwidth part configuration comprising a configuration associated with an uplink bandwidth part and a downlink bandwidth part;
• and
• communicate according to the second bandwidth part configuration in the one or more slots of the plurality of slots based at least in part on receiving the indication of the second bandwidth part configuration.
