A user equipment configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the user equipment to:
• determine a slot format for a slot at the user equipment based on a settling time required for an automatic gain control;
• receive a first cyclic prefix of a first symbol within the slot at a user equipment;
• configure a first automatic gain control setting based on a received power in the first cyclic prefix of the first symbol;
• and
• receive a data portion of the first symbol using the first automatic gain control setting.
