Claim 4:
5. A network node for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the network node is configured to:
receive a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration, wherein the BWP configuration indicates a time division duplexing (TDD) pattern specific to a flexible BWP and a time interval in which to operate in the flexible BWP using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP;
communicate, during the time interval indicated by the BWP configuration, in the flexible BWP using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP;
switch, after the time interval indicated by the BWP configuration, from the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP to a TDD pattern configuration for a frequency band that includes the flexible BWP;
switch, after the time interval, from the flexible BWP to one or more BWPs within the frequency band that includes the flexible BWP, and
communicate in the one or more BWPs using the TDD pattern configuration for the frequency band that includes the flexible BWP.
