Abstract

Aspects relate to determining whether to conduct a scheduled communication after a bandwidth part (BWP) for the scheduled communication has been changed. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) receives a first indication from a base station (BS) that schedules a communication associated with a first BWP. Subsequently, upon receiving a second indication (e.g., a DCI or a slot format indicator (SFI)) from the BS indicative of a change in the first BWP, the UE determines whether to conduct the scheduled communication. For example, the second DCI may indicate a change in a second BWP that imparts a change on the first BWP or the second DCI may explicitly indicate a change in the first BWP. As another example, an SFI may indicate that at least one symbol for the first BWP has been changed from uplink to downlink, or vice versa.
