14. A method of wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
configuring a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second BWP, wherein the first BWP is associated with a first bandwidth and a first slot format dedicated for the first BWP; and
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a configuration to switch the first BWP to the second BWP, wherein the configuration indicates:
the first bandwidth is to be switched to a second bandwidth,
the first slot format is to be switched to a second slot format, or
the first bandwidth is to be switched to the second bandwidth and the first slot format is to be switched to the second slot format,

and wherein:
the configuration is downlink control information (DCI) that indicates the second BWP for the switching, and the DCI further indicates whether to maintain the first slot format for the second BWP, or
the configuration is a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration that indicates the second BWP for the switching, and the RRC reconfiguration further indicates whether to maintain the first slot format for the second BWP.
