Claim 9:
10. A first network node for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the first network node is configured to:
transmit a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration to a second network node, wherein the BWP configuration indicates a time division duplexing (TDD) pattern specific to a flexible BWP and an interval in which to operate in the flexible BWP using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP, wherein the interval is indicated as a timer duration associated with activation of the flexible BWP;
communicate, during the interval, with the second network node in the flexible BWP using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP; and
switch, after the interval, from the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP to a TDD pattern configuration for a frequency band that includes the flexible BWP.
