Claim 0:
1. 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 an interval in which to operate in the flexible BWP using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP;
initiate, based at least in part on activation of the flexible BWP to enable communication using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP, a timer configured to use the interval;
communicate, during the interval, in the flexible BWP using the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP; and
switch, after the timer has expired, from the TDD pattern specific to the flexible BWP to a TDD pattern configuration for a frequency band that includes the flexible BWP.
