Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a control message indicating to switch from a first slot format to a second slot format. The first slot format may include symbols for reference signal transmissions and symbols for data transmissions. Thus, the first slot format may be a full-TDM slot that supports time division multiplexing (TDM) reference signals and data. The second slot format may be a hybrid TDM/frequency division multiplexing (FDM) slot or a full-FDM slot that includes at least one symbol for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) reference signals and data. Based on a capability of the UE and the control message, the UE may switch to the second slot format and communicate a reference signal in a symbol configured for FDM. That is, the reference signal may be FDMed with data according to the second slot format.
