Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for updating a slot format during full duplex (FD) operation. An example method by a user equipment (UE) generally includes receiving signaling for the UE to operate on at least one active bandwidth part (BWP) and participating in FD communications in the at least one active BWP on at least some symbols, based on a first slot format associated with the at least one active BWP.
Claims30
A method for wireless communications performed by a user-equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving signaling for the UE to operate on at least one active bandwidth part (BWP) having a first slot format, wherein the at least one active BWP is part of a BWP pair consisting of an uplink BWP and a downlink BWP, and wherein the first slot format is different from a slot format prior to the switch;
- and
- participating in full duplex (FD) communications in the at least one active BWP on symbols, based on the first slot format associated with the at least one active BWP.
A method for wireless communications performed by a network entity, comprising:
- transmitting signaling for a user equipment (UE) to operate on at least one active bandwidth part (BWP) having a first slot format, wherein the at least one active BWP is part of a BWP pair consisting of an uplink BWP and a downline BWP, and wherein the first slot format is different from a slot format prior to the switch;
- and
- participating in full duplex (FD) communications with the UE in the at least one active BWP on symbols, based on the first slot format associated with the at least one active BWP.
An apparatus for wireless communication performed by a user-equipment (UE), comprising:
- an interface configured to obtain signaling for the UE to switch operation to at least one active bandwidth part (BWP) having a first slot format, wherein the at least one active BWP is part of a BWP pair consisting of an uplink BWP and a downlink BWP, and wherein the first slot format is different from a slot format prior to the switch;
- and
- a processing system configured to participate in full duplex (FD) communications in the at least one active BWP on at least some symbols, based on the first slot format associated with the at least one active BWP.
An apparatus for wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:
- an interface configured to output, for transmission, signaling for a user equipment (UE) to switch operation to at least one active bandwidth part (BWP) having a first slot format, wherein the at least one active BWP is part of a BWP pair consisting of an uplink BWP and a downlink BWP, and wherein the first slot format is different from a slot format prior to the switch;
- and
- a processing system configured to participate in full duplex (FD) communications with the UE in the at least one active BWP on symbols, based on the first slot format associated with the at least one active BWP.
