Bandwidth part-specific downlink-uplink patterns

A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE) operating in a full-duplex (FD) mode, a configuration of a first set of bandwidth parts (BWPs) and a second set of BWPs, wherein the configuration identifies a first BWP-specific downlink (DL)-uplink (UL) pattern for the first set of BWPs and a second BWP-specific DL-UL pattern for the second set of BWPs that is different than the first BWP-specific DL-UL pattern;
• and
• communicate, in a half-duplex mode or a full-duplex mode, with the UE in multiple active BWPs of the plurality of BWPs using the first BWP-specific DL-UL pattern and the second BWP-specific DL-UL pattern, wherein whether to communicate in the half-duplex mode or the full-duplex mode in one or more time intervals is based at least in part on whether a time-interval format in the first BWP-specific DL-UL pattern corresponding to the one or more time intervals is the same as or different from a time-interval format in the second BWP-specific DL-UL pattern corresponding to the one or more time intervals.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a base station operating in a full-duplex (FD) mode, a configuration of a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), the configuration identifying:
• a first BWP-specific downlink (DL)-uplink (UL) pattern for a first set of BWPs of the plurality of BWPs,
• a second BWP-specific DL-UL pattern for a second set of BWPs of the plurality of BWPs, wherein the second BWP specific DL-UL pattern is different than the first BWP-specific DL-UL pattern;
• and
• communicating, in a half-duplex mode or a full-duplex mode, with the base station in the plurality of BWPs using the first BWP-specific DL-UL pattern and the second BWP-specific DL-UL pattern, wherein whether to communicate in the half-duplex mode or the full-duplex mode in one or more time intervals is based at least in part on whether a time-interval format in the first BWP-specific DL-UL pattern corresponding to the one or more time intervals is the same as or different from a time-interval format in the second BWP-specific DL-UL pattern corresponding to the one or more time intervals.
